Officers Kill Man Who Pointed a Gun at Girl, 2

A man who pointed a gun at the head of a 2-year-old girl as they passed on the street was shot to death shortly afterward when he confronted police.

The man had passed a mother and toddler at Lemon Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway on Saturday afternoon and pointed his gun, but the mother grabbed her daughter, police said. The man then walked into a motorcycle shop a few blocks away and argued with customers. Arriving officers fired several shots at the armed man, said police spokesman Greg Schirmer. The unidentified man died at a hospital at 3:12 p.m.

What do think, a strange example of suicide by Cop, or just another strung out junkie?
 
Sounds like a bipolar riding his emotional rollercoaster. Tweakers seem to fall into this pattern also. Whatever. Just another victim.
 
If it were my daughter, I'd want the cops to shoot him too!
If it were my daughter, I'd want the DA to decide not to charge me for shooting the guy.

Sounds like a good shooting.

...

But maybe we should wait for more info. We don't know what all went down. ;)
