Red Spy:
why are we arguing about something that happened almost two years ago again

Rockinboy2000:

DON'T LOOK WITHIN 33.1 DEGREES OF A COUNTER TERRORIST OR YOU WILL BE SHOT
FOR EACH 10 STEPS YOU MUST EXECUTE A 360 DEGREE SPIN

I've been thinking about this and lemme just ask, can we at least agree there was negligence here? That this could've gone totally smoothly had the officer acted different? The man was completely disarmed and laying on the ground with his hands on his head. They 100% could have walked over and cuffed him, frisked him, whatever. Instead he kept yelling at him to crawl (wtf?) and warning him he was going to shoot and kill him if he didn't comply

Even before that, the report they got was presumably "rifle spotted in a hotel room." why didn't they walk up to the door and ask "do you have a rifle in the room? what reason do you have to be keeping a rifle in your room? do you have a license? does the hotel know you're keeping this here?" Y'know, the kinda stuff you'd ask instead of yelling at the guy to shut up and "the time for diplomacy is over" while he's trying to explain.
