are screaming and running every whichaway with sirens blaring.

Oh - and he didn't know at the time it was one teenager.

Gotcha.

Your arguments are so ridiculous and fantastical, it's hard to even take you seriously. But you seem so very certain in your beliefs that I suspect you are impervious to reason or reality, so I'll just leave you to your good-guy-with-a-gun fantasies and not waste any more time discussing this with you.

Have a nice evening.

Indeed. nt SunSeeker Feb 2018 #20

I appreciate your point of view hueymahl Feb 2018 #22

You know for a fact exactly what he was trained to do in this exact situation? EffieBlack Feb 2018 #25

I infer based on the immediate response of his supervisor in firing him hueymahl Feb 2018 #26

That's a lot of "inferring" with no evidence at all - and you've got your facts wrong EffieBlack Feb 2018 #27

What is with the personal attacks? hueymahl Feb 2018 #28
