Come on guys, this is too important an issue to get snide about. Sean, I don't know what your military experience was, but the story in the papers yesterday (stories in both Tribune Herald and West Hawaii Today were written by the same person) has an anomally. The stories said that officers were struggling with the man. Who gave the green light to shoot with officers in contact with thew man? i believe this was suicide by cop, but this detail bothers me. It seems unlikely that the snipers would have been allowed to shoot if other officers were in danger of being shot by their rifles.
