There is quite a difference between not faulting the police for shooting someone and saying that person <i>should be shot</i>.  I do not think pointing a non-lethal weapon, much less a <i>toy</i>, should be automatic grounds for being shot.  I do believe it may be the appropriate response in some situations though.  That said, I suspect you don&#x27;t really believe what you&#x27;ve said, and it&#x27;s a case of poorly communicating your intent.<p>Unfortunately, on polarizing issues like this where clear communication is paramount to prevent people from wasting time arguing similar points, it seems people are more prone to comment without fully considering their wording (possibly due to high emotional investment).
