Las Vegas Cops Shoots And Kill Man

Metro police officers shot and killed another man last night in the northeast area of town.
From the LVRJ: Las Vegas police officers shot and killed a man while investigating a domestic disturbance in the northeast valley Monday night.
Officers were called to the 2800 block of Taurus Court, near Las Vegas Boulevard and Pecos Road, about 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Police said early evidence indicated a suicidal man at a home pointed a gun at officers, who then shot him.

I always found ironic in a very strange way about suicide by cop shootings:

Man: I want to die, so I will point this gun at you.

Cop: No, you don't want to die.

Bang! Bang!, man is now dead.

It sucks to be the police officer now- he had to take a person's life and the man who died was too selfish and chicken that he could not do it himself.
So, to protect the other officers and possible by standers, the cop has to shoo the guy and then the cop has to live with the memory of killing a person for the rest of the cop's life.
Good luck with the officer who shot along with the rest of the offices at the scene who has to deal with this shooting.

  1. I don't know people some times overreact it is something that they have to do. If their lives are in risk. So if we are in that situation what would we do?
