Agreed wholeheartedly about the media. All of it is agenda based. Like i said i value the good work the police does a hell of a lot more the occasional bad.

here we go - making more out of it!
I said "if the situation warrants it" and if you say "you pose no threat" than why would the situation warrant me even pulling my weapon??? We are like a dog chasing a tail in this conversation. If the situation warrants me discharging a weapon, than so be it. I better have my ducks in a row because the LSP will be investigating it and it aint pretty - trust me!

If your wife calls and says she has a husband going off the deep end, I arrive to find you in the house tearing it up with her favorite tennis racket, I will ask you to put it down, then I will tell you to put it down, then I will make you put it down! In that order!!! - Doesn't matter to me that you got home to find her fat arse in bed with her tennis coach and your secretary having a 3some. The situation is you are angry, emotional, and swinging a tennis racket which I percieve as a weapon that can do me great bodily harm in this case.

If I get to your residence on the same call and you are sitting watching the Saints game, and tell me you just told her you want a divorce and she is freaking our, it will be handled as a "B- baker" call (no report/back in service).
