re: #349 RogueOne

There was a lot of conflicting witness testimony but the bottom line is they shot a guy 8 times who had a permit to carry a weapon, hadn’t broken any laws, and the weapon was still in the holster. That’s not heroic and giving them a medal for it is more than distasteful in my book.

Guns can turn rather mundane situations into a life or death situation very quickly. Conflicting testimony usually indicates a confusing situation. Seems like the cops, based on the evidence they had acted within the bounds of the law to protect themselves from a perceived deadly threat. Maybe not medal worthy, but I’m not sure what they should have done differently.
