Sounds like the guy was just trying to survive but robbing a store just aint the right to do it. If I remember corrctly he had the fake gun in his hand when he stepped out of his car, prompting the police to shoot him.

THE TREND OF SANE PEOPLE NOT PROVOKING THE POLICE IN TO KILLING THEM CONTINUES UNABATED.

It could be argued every criminal activity is done by 'people in crisis or addiction.'

Jesus, way to connect the dots, Denis. People who aren't in crisis or dealing with addiction often choose NOT to shoot police officers. Groundbreaking work!

What happened to our love, Reymont? And what about the children? You know it hurts them to see us this way.

@Denis - Sorry, I know I have baggage: sometimes you remind me too much of my abusive ex, Matt Davis.

At least we'll always have this deep physical attraction.
