  1. Wow this article is really interesting. It brings about a question of whether or not it was ok to shoot someone who was threatening others with a pen. I think the situation could of been handled in a more productive way without it having to result to this.

  2. Polie brutality is getting worse everyday. I'm pretty sure the cops could've restrained a man who was holding a pen.

  4. He could have shot that man ANYWHERE, but it just HAD TO BE IN THE FLUFFING HEAD.

    *facepalm*

    That police man could have just tried to calm the man down. He didn't have to use violence as a first resort.

  5. This is interesting. I feel bad for the man, but also if he had listened he probably would be alive now.

  6. The police are getting out of control. Although some may argue that it would be the man's fault for not listening, but what the policeman did is clearly unlawful.
