. So the only way to stop shootings is more guns but also the cops are allowed to shoot people with those guns if theyre scared. Cool country, man.

Make that cop turn in his badge or 2nd amendment advocates should protest in front of the police station.

This guy was a white conservative.
They don't care about those either, apparently.

Bad guy with a gun kills good guy with a gun who stopped a different bad guy with a gun.

AND THE DIFFERENT BAD GUY KILLED ANOTHER COP!

So basically, even doing something to protect other cops can get you killed... Still think they're your friends?

It's pretty sad, but it's unlikely anything will come of this.

This is what I've always said about the "good guy with a gun" argument: how are the authorities supposed to tell the difference?

The best part about all of this happening was listening to all the pro gun Trump Republican idiots on this message board trying to justify the cops murdering this dude even though this is literally what they try to use to justify every other use of gun violence. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

If you having a gun gets you killed you don't actually have any 2nd amendment rights.

I'm trying to visualize the scenario.

It says he was shot while holding the gunman's rifle, which means the gunman was down and the officer most likely did not see this guy actually shoot him. So the officer comes upon a man holding a rifle, but it wasn't the shooter so presumably he wasn't pointing the rifle at officers or bystanders, wasn't actively firing at all. And since he wasn't the shooter it seems pretty likely he would have surrendered quickly if the officer verbally engaged him. The way it played out seems to indicate that the officer made no attempt to order him down and simply shot him on sight, and somehow that's okay.

Shooting on sight seems to be the way most cops do things. And it gets justified with dispatcher told them it was an active case!well then you cant tell people to use their guns to stop bad guys if cops are just going to shoot in fear.

a few weeks ago there was that report of a rape taking place on a subway with no one helping. What if they helped and a cop happened to come in at that moment thinking the helper was assisting the or was the rapist fighting someone helping. Theyd blast. Wed love to live in a perfect world where good guys help everywhere, but the leeway weve given to cops makes that a scary thought.
