I'm not going to insult your intelligence by believing that you believe what you just said. He was carrying a rifle. Is that commonplace in Arizona? Walking down the street with a rifle? How about holding it in your hands instead of some kind of holster? How about firing it in the air and aiming it at people? Is that normal too?
The situation wasn't handled in the best of ways, but it could have been a lot worse. He could have killed people, he could have taken hostages, he could have set fire to more buildings. In the end, considering how bad it could have been, sending the perp to hosptial, is a more favourable result.

And I wonder what the cop would have sounded like if that guy burned down a school with all the children in it, or blew his partners brains out.
