I love it when people riot. We have it so fucking good, yet every few years we feel the need to fuck up our own shit. "Hey, kids are starving in Africa while we have Ikea, so let's go fuck up the Starbucks".
(This, btw, is the only reason I have firearms. While I found it highly unlikely that a riot would ever break out in my hometown, if it does, or if society breaks down the police are unable to protect me, I will be.)

So when police make a mistake at 4am in the dark because they believe they have cornered suspect that is killing cops and others, it's bad but when a seventy year old man kills an intruder and becomes judge, jury & executioner it's perfectly acceptable.
While I'm perfectly fine with a homeowner shooting someone who has broken into his home, he could have fired a few warning shots and scared them off instead of taking a man's life for a petty crime.
At the very same time I could not imagine being a cop - in the pitch black with a firearm stripped to your hip and an assault rifle within reach, knowing that at any moment you might be attacked or shot. Cops make mistakes. This was a horrible accident.
