Anyone that shoots at police, can expect to be shot at - anyone who thinks police shouldnt fire back is an idiot and hypocrite, as they would do the same
@MinneapolisUser82378009 agree 💯
Prayers to family and all involved. Feel bad that it ended the way it did but the police needed to protect themselves and other families that were in that building.
Demeter13 Why don’t you go in there and talk the guy down if you think it’s so easy.
Applause to the officers
Guess they are suppose to leave and just let him shoot at whoever he wants 🤷. Some people's logic is a little out there I tell ya.
