    Is this thing being blamed upon the gun or the man?

    How can you even ask? GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE.

    (They're just very efficient tools for killing people.)

    This is awful. But the correlation with the accompanied thread title is not justified. Why use the generalization American Law Enforcement and bring that into the discussion?

    Either we got a senile old ex-cop with a gun presumably gotten licenced through work (most probable) or an old ex-cop that shouldn't have been a cop in the first place.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    The ex-cop's been charged though. What's the fuss? It's not like anyone is making excuses for the old coot or anything like that. If the shooter was anyone other than a cop/ex-cop, this would not have made the headlines. Before everyone starts yelling "Pawleece Brutalitay!!!!" let's have the due process run its course.
