Incidents like this make me wish swat level close combat was the standard for beat cops but there's a serious lack of funding.
Rest in peace young blood.

Could have been one of those black wii-motes with the gun shaped extensions/holders.

My title is perfect. A title is meant to draw people in without telling them the whole story so they have to read the thread/article to find out the details.
