Basic suicide by cop 101.
The right thing to do was to follow a progression...
-see if he was really reaching for a gun.
-watch to see if he picked the gun up.
-wait until he points the gun at the officer.
-wait till he pulls the trigge-wait until the first officer falls (wait to see if the shot is fatal, and assess the race of the officer shot.)
-follow the same protocol if a second officer goes down
- the next officer should ask why he is angry, if he is lashing out due to expensive Affordable Healthcare plans, was raised by a single parent, or is disenfranchised.
-wait till the third office is killed.
- blame No Child Left Behind.
-wait for the fourth officer to go down.
-bring in an officer of the same hue of the shooter (or darker)
-ask him to (pretty please, with sugar on top) to drop the gun.
-pay the gun man's family a multi million dollar settlement because pretty please with sugar on top is offensive because the shooter had diabetes, and he was actually killed by sugar WHITE sugar.
-provide free excellerant so people can burn down their own neighborhoods and businesses.
-give the neighborhood a multi million dollar grant to rebuild.
It's the American way.
