Default Cop shoots double amputee wielding a pen in a wheelchair
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local...o-be-a-pen.ece


A Houston police officer shot and killed a one-armed, one-legged man in a wheelchair Saturday inside a group home after police say the double amputee threatened the officer and aggressively waved a metal object that turned out to be a pen.
Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the man cornered the officer in his wheelchair and was making threats while trying to stab the officer with the pen. At the time, the officer did not know what the metal object was that the man was waving, Silva said.
She said the man came “within inches to a foot” of the officer and did not follow instructions to calm down and remain still.
“Fearing for his partner’s safety and his own safety, he discharged his weapon,” Silva told The Associated Press. One would think, the progression would go: words, pepper spray, tazer, baton, gun. I guess a one legged, one armed, in a wheelchair citizen with a bic is an example of when to skip 3 non lethal steps for the lethal one.


A swift kick would have done the trick. Also works wonders on the dogs they instead decide to execute.
