  - People protesting should be ashamed. -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:14 2
    - People should keep protesting these things until African-Americans feel safe and protected by white cops. And until extreme gun control is implemented - David Oct 9, 07:57
    - [deleted]
  - with a sandwich, according to his family. - znufrii Oct 9, 07:08
  - I think the only unknown is did the off-duty cop have the right to pursue the three men because he thought one was armed? - Inigo Oct 9, 06:45 3
    - [deleted]
    - He was working security for the neighborhood and had on his police uniform. -- nm - spamlet Oct 9, 06:52
    - The story is strange. Officer first chases suspect. Then suspect approaches cop aggressively. - Loyola Oct 9, 06:49

    - It almost did last night because protesters refused to believe he could have been armed. -- nm - spamlet Oct 9, 06:51

        [deleted]
- "The officer fired 17 shots" -- nm - Beaker Oct 9, 06:38 11
  - seems a tad excessive (how many bullets do guns hold these days?). but him shooting in the first place seems warranted. -- nm - Andie Oct 9, 06:39 10
    - He'd have had to reload at least once, probably twice. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:48 9
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Something I was reading the other day said that 70-80% of shots fired miss. - Ender Oct 9, 07:11 2
        
        Right, which is all the more reason we need to let every gun-nut have open-carry for those random situations they are in a live fire situation. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 9, 07:25 1
        
        Well, what I was reading was specifically talking about FBI agents. I would imagine the random gun nut's better trained... -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:36
        
        Ah, thanks -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:58

i just posted this on FB - but i will mention it here too: So, last night some guy in a motorized wheelchair, who was very very drunk, ran into me on - Andie Oct 9, 06:17 13

  - (Just checked - it's irrelevant in Ontario) -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:36 4
    - we don't care? why am i not surprised. -- nm - Andie Oct 9, 06:37 3
      - I mean location is irrelevant. If you're operating a motor vehicle while impaired, it's an offence whether on a public street, in another public - Roger More Oct 9, 06:43 1
        
        ah. gotcha. i thought maybe we wouldn't impose any restricting laws on someone in a wheelchair. -- nm - Andie Oct 9, 06:44

  - Sorry, meant for Walt. -- nm - Loyola Oct 9, 06:28
- Depends on the jurisdiction but this article says yes..... -- (link) - Walt_Disney Oct 9, 06:25
