I had some friends in Downtown San Diego last week. I didn't go, but apparently, some guy robbed a store down there, injured a security guard (knife I think) and when the cops showed up, the cops shot him dead because he wouldn't stop moving toward them.

Granted, if a crazy is walking toward you with a knife, then by all means shoot him, but shoot to disable, not kill.

I think it's getting out of hand as well.

I think most cops watch COPS way too much. They take that show as a shining example of what they ought to be able to get away with.

Sounds like a ridiculous police force in that particular area. However once again a gigantic blanket statement that all cops are terrible people.
