[QUOTE="DriveInDriveOut, post: 2128455, member: 44954"] This is what he had in his hand, a "spray nozzle". Certainly creates a gray area where the officers can reasonably be seen to be justified in the shooting. That being said, it definitely could have been handled differently, but we would have to change the way we train officers. I don't think they did anything wrong, they performed their job the way they were trained to do, by eliminating a perceived threat. I see this as an opportunity to have a public conversation about alternatives to lethal force when dealing with people who have mental health problems. But placing blame on the officers won't accomplish that goal. [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/26/15/3293052900000578-3510519-image-a-49_1459004964261.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
