He had a loaded weapon taken from him during the tussle. Shouts of he's armed. Are they suppossed to wait until they're shot or worse? Time and again all these people have to do is comply. Trained and vetted officers are absolutely not going out there as 'thugs' intended or wanting to assassinate people; that's just plain ridiculous dramatisation and you are being brainwashed into stupidity. I'm not for one minute saying it isn't quite possibly a very unfortunate incident and in an ideal world shouldn't have happened ... (and that isn't meant to sound trite), but play with fire and you risk getting burnt. Imagine trying to be a police officer, and fire officer, and emergency responder, a body guard, a law enforecement officer (etc etc.....) these days, it must be an absolute nightmare with the way people act. People of course have a right to protest, but it is no longer simple protesting and it's a known fact the protests, here and elsewhere are hijacked with agitators. Sorry, I have very little sympathy for those putting themselves in these situations nowadays.
