For those of you who see a pattern in this police shooting - I agree. But the pattern is not the police. It is the morals/ethics/lack of responsibility that the public deems acceptable.
If a felon runs from the police and causes a car wreck - everyone blames the police.
If a person with the capability of killing another human being is shot by the police, everyone blames the police.
If you violate the law and get a ticket, it is the cops fault. This is indeed the entitlement society. No one accepts reponsibility for anything!!!!!

People - grow up. We live in a society with rules and regulations. Follow them. Don't like the rules change them.
Don't want cops to shoot bad guys? change the laws so the bad guys can do whatever they want to do - the police won't shoot anyone then!!

I understand your points. Several years back, I was off duty and carrying a weapon. Poof - here are 3 police officers with drawn weapons. They are kinda spooked and one was yelling - put your hands up. one was yelling get down on the ground. I froze. I did NOT move. After several seconds, they got their sh*t together and I followed instructions. I didn't reach for my gun. I didn't get shot. The reality is NONE of us were there at Costco. All we have are opinions. We do NOT have facts!!

I do not know Eric Scott. I do not know the officers. The only facts I know are this - As simplistically put as possible. Do what you are told by the police and you will not be shot!

I have stopped vehicles with people and guns. I have stopped people with guns in their belt or pockets. I have never had to shoot anyone. Was I afraid for my life, yes! BUT THEY did what they were told to do. They lived through it!

How articulate.. How insightful.. Morons? Whiners? Ridiculous? You must have had a lot of fun in 4th grade for those 3 extra years!

Regardless, there is a world of difference between congestion and gridlock and the latter is the issue. Try going into Arizona on US93 on a holiday weekend. Perhaps your room temperature IQ will allow you to understand.

AND a huge thank you to ALL of the volunteers who gave countless hours and donations to reach this goal!

Slave? Nah... not quite. Yes that is an officers job to stand next to the person, but it is not the officers job to get hurt. It's their job to enforce YOUR laws. Change your laws. and as Rodney King said one day - Can't we all just get along?

Have a nice life

My Gawd people.

Police officers do not make laws. They enforce the laws. If you think people should not be stopped for jaywalking, change the laws.

When it seems like a crime is committed, an officer MUST do something about it. If a man with a gun is there, the officer(s) must investigate and arrest if there is a reason. If people do what they are told, there are NO problems. Cops are people - people can and do make mistakes. The cops WILL go home at night. Make a furtive move instead of standing still - Bang.
Have a weapon in your belt and start to draw it - Bang.
What is the problem here? Cops can't say - aw - forget it and leave.
Handcuff People while talking to them? The law says its correct officer safety. Don't like the law - change it. I'm not gonna stand next to a 6'6" tall, 300 lb monster while I check for warrants. Nor would you.

People - Get a clue. Do as you are told. Change the laws when needed. Our society needs a lot of help and many of you people with issues have IQ's very similar to your ages.

Remember Common sense is NOT common.
