Man threatening Wal-Mart customers shot, killed by police
 

EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) â?? Authorities say a man with a weapon threatening customers at a northeastern Pennsylvania Wal-Mart has been shot and killed by police.

Pennsylvania State Police say Sunday that 20-year-old Andrew Joseph Todd, of Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania, was shot when he refused officers' orders to drop his weapon inside the Wal-Mart late Saturday.

Police were dispatched to the store shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday on reports of an armed man threatening and pointing a weapon at customers. Officials say about 100 people were in the store at the time.

State police say officers ordered Todd to drop his weapon. He refused and continued to point it at officers. Police then fired at Todd, striking him in the upper chest. Todd was transported to Pocono Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead by the Monroe County coroner.

State police say no customers or officers were injured.

The Pocono Record reports Todd was carrying two guns and a machete.

"All American Terrorist"

Dead nut case

you have to have some sympathy for US police. They're constantly in fear of getting shot or knifed.

Unlike British Police they fire first.

So why Trump said British police feared for their lives, I have no idea.

Maybe just another bit of his BS.

Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year


UK (2011) 0.06
France (2012) 0.21
US (2013) 3.55

London 1.4
Paris 4.4
Washington 15.9
Chicago 19.4

Don't blame the police for being scared. Blame politicians for making sire they are scared.

What is your take on this, Mr. Donkster?
If white - he deserved what he got, if black - waciss people shot first and asked questions later? :winkwink:

Cops are such pussys these days

I'm going to say white, most of that area is. A lot of amish as well.

I'm tired of the media printing unsubstantiated bullshit like this. Is walking around waving a gun in shops and swearing at citizens a sign of good parenting. I'm not saying he needed to be killed,but Robertson was hardly behaving like a model citizen...

The answer is as simple as this: don't sell guns to the nation which is not able to use them responsibly. For example, in Switzerland you can legally buy a bazooka or a gun machine, but for some reason I don't remember any mass-shooting stories from that country. Even in some poor 3rd-world country like Yemen, everybody can carry out an AK47 even when he visit's a hairdresser. But there is also a zero news like the OP has posted above. Yeah, there are Islam radicals, a civilian war when one group is fighting the another one, but no maniacs with guns in the supermarkets or in schools. This form of violence is exclusive for the States only. How come? Maybe the government should think about it and forbid guns on the federal level?

It is much harder to get ammo in Switzerland.

Not exclusive to the states. Lots of countries have had mass murders but they usually respond to it by limiting access to assault rifles etc. Australia and the UK went through this.

The answer is simple. Don't make it so easy for deranged people and criminals to get guns.
