"Don't care if he was deaf. Once the cops point a gun at me, I'M DROPPING THE METAL PIPE!" ~Captain Obvious

That is an ignorant comment. If his mode of communication was waving the pipe, then why would he think it’s a problem w/ police?
-
What a stupid response! What was he communicating with the pipe? "I'm Professor Plum and I committed murder in the Conservatory"??
-
Who needs a gun to stop a pipe?
-
Good point. Still, I would've dropped the pipe. I think most rational people would have as well.
-
That is primarily my point. What if he didn’t know or wasn’t rational? Shoot first and ask questions later is very dangerous.
-
This seems to be how police these days react. Something is terribly wrong with their training. Or they are in the wrong job.

I am very pro police. There is a deficit in training of frontline officers throughout North America
-
Training starts with screening. We are deficient I how we screen for psychological factors which should disqualify police work. Serious prob

Still can't understand after reading all these stories how the taser isn't the first choice over a gun. A gun is the easy way out.
-
A Taser is also not that “non-lethal” as it advertises.
-
A person that has been tazed does have a much much MUCH less chance of dying. Exact reason I carry one instead of a gun.
-
It's only in extreme cases where tasers result in deaths.
