THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE PROVING THAT CITIZENS SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO BE LEGALY ARMED; THE BAD GUYS ARE OBVIOUSLY ARMED. HAD THEN BEEN YOU OR I, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. I AM GLAD THE POLICE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF FROM A RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE, NOW ITS TIME WE HAVE THAT OPTION TOO.
