I don't know of people trying to get their lives together that carry a gun and pull it on a police officer. This is just too much. I understand they are mourning the loss of their son. He has a child on the way. But, this is not just a boo boo a tiny set back in trying to get things together. It was a deliberate action and it led to him being shot in a shoe store.
