As a combat veteran I have faced off with enemies with all kinds of weapons, but that was combat and you make decisions second to second. This is a case of officers that have no idea what the hell they are doing. I hope they get their eye sight checked, can tell the difference in types of weapons, and get there information from dispatch about being a possible toy gun and there was no immenient danger to the officers.

"Combat" is a situational environment and it isn't limited to "war". Getting into a shootout with an armed robber is "combat". If someone pulls a gun on you outside a restaurant, would you be making decisions "second to second" as well?

Get their eyesight checked? Yeah, okay. Below is a picture of what he was pulling from his waistband when they shot him. NOBODY would be able to tell if it's a replica or an actual railed/long-slide 1911.

How is it the officers' fault that dispatch didn't tell them it might possibly be a toy gun? How does one ask for information that he doesn't know exists?

This quote is about the most illogical piece of garbage I've read in awhile.
