Sounds like premeditated murder on their part.

I don't know that I could characterize quite that way.



But, I do hope somebody in that media market is recording all the police comments for later use in court, especially such comments by police supervisors and press-relations officers--the comments that would ordinarily need official department authorization and so forth.

And, when I think about it, I don't think one would have to wait for a faux-gun phone user to get shot. The same police attitudes can be applied to anybody they shoot, even a criminal who didn't really need shooting. It doesn't really matter why the police diverge from using AOJ; its that they diverge from it. And, some of the comments are tending to show they already don't follow AOJ (otherwise, why are they not applying AOJ analysis to phone-guns?)
