With a wink and a nod, it sounds like this cop was not Puna's Finest. In another event today, one of our own was killed by Puna police. I will assume they thought they had no alternatives. I can't second guess trained police, but I often wonder in these situations why they couldn't just aim for a knee or arm. As the utopian song goes, "In the Big Rock Candy Mountain/The cops have wooden legs/The bulldogs all have rubber teeth/And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs..."
I guess I'm in a wishful thinking mood tonight. Wouldn't it be nice if going off your meds didn't mean you had to be gunned down.
