Regarding Ferguson, tread lightly. The facts are different than the media
coverage.

Did you know that in the US, if you are assaulted by an assailant carrying
a weapon; you have the right to respond in kind. For example, threatened
with a knife, you can kill to defend. Threatened with a gun, you can kill
to defend. HOWEVER, *if* you disarm your assailant; your right for
retribution disappears. Once you've disarmed him and the threat of death
is gone; you can no longer beat the SOB to a pulp, called excessive force.
That's for a private citizen being threatened with bodily harm.

So raises the question, why would a policeman [who obviously still has his
weapon] NOT be chastised for emptying that weapon into someone? Seems the
threat to policeman was gone. Why do laws that apply to citizens NOT apply
to police officers? Nor even logic?


PS: just saw the film Sicko by Moore. Is Canadian health system really
that good?
