Why do these dumb *** cops still get guns?

The double amputee was "advancing towards" the officers and "refusing to show his hands."

How does a guy, with one arm and one leg, manoeuvre a wheelchair without the use of his only arm? I suppose he could have been dragging himself around with his one leg, but I don't think that would get him enough speed to be an unavoidable threat armed with a pen that needs to be shot in the head.

This rustles my jimmies.

I agree. It's becoming more and more common for the police to shoot / murder people just because they can get away with it.

lol a group home for the mentally ill that isn't competent enough to handle a schizophrenic outburst and a two police officers that aren't competent enough to handle a double amputee.

Seems reasonable.
