Guns don't kill people do ... 12:30 - Dec 24 with 705 viewsNthsuffolkblue

or more specifically the police in the US do (in this instance).

Terrible news but another reason why routinely arming the police is not wise.

There doesn't even look like a good reason to kill the 'suspect' let alone fire so indiscriminately to murder an innocent child in the process.

Why is their answer to everything to go full-on nuts?

Shoot first ask questions later.

My Dad went to the US when he was a student. A group of them got separated and came back to where they were staying later than the rest. As they didn't have access and a window was open one climbed in through it. The chap they were staying with woke up and shot him.

There are very good reasons why routinely arming the police is wrong. Only look at the misuse of the Tazer already.

99.9% of cops are decent well-intentioned humans. It’s the remainder we all have to worry about; angry, trigger-happy and very very dangerous.

I am not even sure it is as simple as that. You are asking an average cop to make a spur of the moment call based on the evidence available. In this country our specialist firearm officers are highly trained for the scenarios they are likely to face. Even then they sometimes get it wrong. Our regular cops are armed with Tazers and that presents problem enough.

I can't imagine suddenly being confronted with a violent individual in a busy shop and having a gun readily available. They should want to have had all the training our specialist firearms officers have got. I can't imagine that they will be enjoying their Christmas any more than the victims' families are. They will be facing an investigation into their conduct and (assuming they are even half decent human beings) they know they are responsible for taking the girl's life. Even in America, I assume they will be facing charges for this.

Guns don’t kill people, rappers do!
I’m a f***ing rapper and I might kill you.

They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!
