Metro Shoots Man Who Points Gun At Them, Liberals Go Nuts

From the Las Vegas Sun: A man was fatally shot by Metro Police behind a retail store in the central valley on Monday.
Police were called to the scene of a shooting in a parking lot outside the Ross Dress for Less store, 2420 E. Desert Inn Road, at about 3 p.m., according to Deputy Chief Kathleen O'Connor. There, officers found a homeless man who had been shot in his right hand. The assailant — whom the homeless man described to police as a white or Hispanic man — was in an alley behind the store, he said.
Officers went to the back of the store and located the suspect near the loading dock. Officers gave commands to the man, but instead of obeying them, he produced a handgun from his waistband, police said.
Three Metro officers then shot at the man "in order to stop his actions," police said. The man fell to the pavement and dropped the gun.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. A gun was located near his body, police said.
O'Connor said officers were on "heightened alert" because of the shooting in the front of the store. None of the officers was injured.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/29/metro-investigating-officer-involved-shooting-two-/
So, a thug shoots and wounds an unarmed homeless guy and runs behind a large clothing store.  And then he confronts the cops, who tell him to drop his gun, he decides to go out in glory and points the gun at them.  At that time, the cops eliminate the thug from the DNA gene pool.
So, the liberal reactions to the story?  They go nuts.
From the comments section:
Our "brave" Metro officers executed a homeless man so they could go on paid administrative leave until our corrupt DA exonerates them of any wrongdoing whatsoever. In North Korea, if you look at a police officer wrong you get life in prison. We are heading that way ladies and gents. Now Sherriff Dizzy gets to go on his favorite talk shows and local TV to talk ad nauseum about how these oh so "brave" officers had no other choice but to open fire and kill the man, most likely planting a gun near the body after the fact to make it look better. Hurry up Metro! Better get your hands on that surveillance footage quickly, like the Costco shooting!
Don't tell me, he was "resisting arrest" right....

and
 i am shocked...
shocked i tell you...
so rare...
hardly ever happens...
NOT!!!
bottom line...
in vegas...
you are far far more likely to be killed by a cop...
than struck by lightening...
than hit by a bus...
than on and on and on...
FRICKIN JOKE!!!

and
Can't wait to here the "story" on this one. How it took three cops to take down a dangerous criminal.
And the rest of you are correct, our DA will find it justified. 

and
I wonder if the "brave" officers gave the man any warning before they opened fire.
and
 i don't know what's worse...
the trigger happy police department...
or...
the pathetic civilians that seem to cheer them on...
seem to get off on the death of others...
seem to find all of these numerous killings to be justified...
FRICKIN JOKE!!!

and
My father was a police officer for a long time. So, when I hear about police brutality and police shooting citizens sometimes armed, sometimes not, I often try to hold my judgement until I hear the full story.
Then I think about my father, who never once shot anyone in over 10 years of service behind a badge...perhaps Metro needs more training on how to defuse a situation before pulling the trigger of a gun.
A life is worth more than a split seconds consideration. (They may not have had a split second)
And liberals wonder why they are not taken seriously.
