Honestly, I think the guy deserved a fair trial. I am not trying to second guess the Dallas Police Department, but I do feel for our combat veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and other wars. I know some come back home and suffer from PTSD and do not get the help they need. Help is out their for them but alot of them will not get help.

...but even if he had not previously been a lowlife, even if he had been a legitimate combat vet, even if he were a MOH recipient, I would still agree with lethal force being used on him, regardless of the delivery method. Anyone who commits an act as heinous as his forfeits his right to continued existence...even if he were my brother (not no damn bruh or brer or whatever horseshit).
...as for tear gas...would you run up on the killer all gas masked up and rattlin' with armor? Why don't you just shoot the gun out his hand instead? Just like some old western movie, right? Or if you were a popo commander, responsible for the lives of your men...who you sending in?
The Russians used fentanyl gas during the Moscow terrorist attack in 2002...shitload of collateral casualties.
