Cops rolling up on this scene don't have the luxury of all of the information put together after the fact. They have to deal with an armed guy in a domestic situation refusing to listen to commands to put the weapon down. That is a situation you will be shot in almost every time.

Sadly, this situation will only create more thoughts of the Military folks are crazy, that we all have PTS, that guns needs to be kept away, and that no one (the general public) will think to look at better mental care is needed.

MSG (Join to see) I'm afraid you are correct. Anything the left can twist to help there cause. Whats sad is they don't understand the Military and Veterans are a huge number of people and anything you have the numbers we have there are bond to be a few a little off in the group along with a few that are just plain bad people. Why cant the military have bad people in it?? we are a cross-section from the population and have all the same issues.
