Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3487175, member: 40"] Agree 100%. In this case, the police got pelted by thrown rocks, got into a physical altercation with several members of the crowd, TASERED Blake, instead of cuffing him had him sit on the curb while the got the rest of the situation under control, gave him mulitple verbal warnings when he got up from the curve / opened his car door / began reaching for something inside, and then fired the gun. OiG, I don't know what other steps you'd like to see mixed in there to prevent them shooting. What WOULD have prevented them shooting would have been the guy listening to directions, or at the very least not going into his car and seemingly reaching for something while armed officers who were dealing with a volatile situation overall had their guns drawn on him.
