The Baton Rouge police shooting of a habitual criminal is very typical as he: Was armed with a firearm in gross violation of our democratically-enacted laws as he was a convicted felon; Was reported by a citizen as being armed and threatening others; Failed to obey lawful orders by uniformed police officers; Was not disabled by the "less-than-lethal" police use of a "stun gun" (Was he under the influence of some illegal drug as is PCP?); Thereafter continued to fight with those officers; And, may have been attempting to retrieve his illegally-possessed pistol from his pocket when shot.
For myself, I do not think it
reasonable to expect police to wait until some already violent
criminal has drawn a gun and has it in his hand before considering
themselves "In clear and present danger of death or great bodily
harm" as allows them (And all innocent citizens) to
immediately use lethal force for self-defense.[This response

Thanks for the post. People with all the facility to have guns are not supposed to used them for harming others. Those with guns must understand the thing that guns are safety device not a thing to harm others and in return kill yourself from someone else gun.
