I still say that the cops are a bit too quick to employ deadly force.
Especially if it turns out that Pretti got shot because the officer that disarmed him had a negligent discharge from Pretti's gun after disarming him.
He deserved to get arrested for what he was doing, but if he was a threat with that dogpile on top of him...
Officers, learn to dogpile better!
If he had a second firearm and was trying to get it out to shoot the dogpile, then good shoot.
But where's that second gun?
I've long maintained that the cops should be held to the same standard as any other citizen when it comes to shooting someone.
The main complaint is that would make it too difficult for cops to do their jobs.
I says that letting us non-cops use the same, looser, rules as the cops wouldn't make it harder for THEM at all.
Just sayin'.
