I think I'm the only person that it was so CLEAR for - you know?

I just think we need to explore this issue. It doesn't make sense why Mr. Shaw was able to charge a HALF naked guy with an AR-15 with no training, weapon, bullet proof vest, back-up, etc. etc.

Yet one lone officer had to a shoot a naked guy because he posed a threat.

Maybe the really core issue is a lot - I mean a LOT of law enforcement officers need to be stripped of their badges for being freaking wimps!
