I've not seen mention of the shooting of Milton Hall by the Saginaw Police on July 1, 2012 in this forum and I couldn't find anything of it when using the search command. If you have not seen it there is amateur video of him receiving 46 bullets in about 5 seconds from 6 police officers. CNN has the video as well as other news outlets. The police had a dog there, I'm sure they had tazers and other non-lethal rounds but decided to shoot a mentally ill guy walking away from them because he had a knife and wouldn't drop it. Moments earlier he may have seemed threatening but walking away is hardly threatening.
I'm not bashing the police and I know that's not tolerated on this forum. What scares me is us OC-ers may have officers called on us with MWAG calls. As a recent thread mentioned a motorcyclist who was carrying on his bike was drawn upon by police. Jeff Hamon was approached with guns drawn on him. I know there have been many others. It's crazy to see how this ended. I guess the take away is do as your told or you might get tried, convicted, and executed within seconds.
If you haven't seen this, it's a wake up call. It should scare you even though this stuff shouldn't happen.
