GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Duchess]

So I'm reading a news story about a man who was shot dead in a Walmart. A phone call was made to 911 saying that there is a man waving a gun around and pointing it at people too. Cops arrive, shoot the man dead and then it's discovered it's an air rifle and the video does not support the assertion that the gun was being pointed at others, it shows a man shopping for a fuckin' air rifle! Now the police want to charge the caller for the death of the shopper and for the death of the person who had a fatal heart attack while this all went down.

Shouldn't LEO's be exhibiting a little more self control, shouldn't they have some goddamn facts before they open fire? Shouldn't they be required to have even half a brain before being hired? Please don't defend these officers to me. I'm sick of hearing all their feeble excuses as to why they do the things they do.
