What ever happened to "STOP! PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"

People took advantage of cops, and rather than heed the warning - they shot the cop...
It doesn't take long for even dumb cops to learn that taking chances is a bad idea.

When did "To Serve and Protect" turn into "shoot the fucker on sight?"

What ever happened to diffusing the situation? Or at least being aware of what was going on?

Did I ever claim otherwise? You can't make people see something unless you shine a BIG BRIGHT FUCKING LIGHT ON IT. And even then, lots of them just make excuses.
I'm old enough to remember when the cops were supposed to take prisoners and let the courts determine justice. These days we have piss-poor educated flat foots serving as judge, jury and executioner when they feel like it and the fucking courts do nothing.
Except for the WLB's former AG. He makes things worse.

According to this updated story from CNN https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/13/us/securi...index.html , he was wearing a "SECURITY" vest.
That makes a difference. It does make it look more like the cop fucked up.
Not only that, but when the cop showed up, several people told him that (paraphrasing here) the security guard had secured the shooter. There was no need for the cop to shoot the guard.

Every so-called argument that the US gun lobby uses with their quest for more guns is weak and intellectually dishonest. They know their memes like "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" are nonsensical. Yet they keep repeating them over and over until gullible Americans buy into and spread their propaganda.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more incidents like the one in the OP that we just haven't heard about.

Are you serious?????
The press LOVES these stories. You never heard " If it bleeds, it leads"???
What you DON'T hear about is all the crimes stopped, and lives saved BECAUSE somebody has a gun.
It DOES happen.
