Default Police Shoot Boy to Save Him!

Local Sheriiff's Deputies shot and killed a young man Saturday because
he was holding a 3-inch knife to his throat and threatening suicide.
Police were responding to a call from the young man's father. They
said he wouldn't respond to commands (people aren't dogs). When he
wouldn't drop the knife, they shot him with beanbags. When he still
wouldn't drop the knife, the deputies opened fire, killing him,
claiming they were feeling threatened by that 3-inch knife. One report
said they shot him in the back. They had Tasers at their disposal.

Well, at least they stopped a suicide!

But it's an ongoing story and more is coming out all the time.
