I will always back LEO's if they act responsibly. This incident certainly doesn't qualify, IMO.

Neither does shooting a drunk wood carver with a pocket knife. In that case the promoted concept was that the guy could have attacked the officer. B.S. In the video, one can easily see the drunk can hardly walk.

Neither does stomping on a handcuffed "suspect"'s face (who was NOT the perp, btw).

I don't know who is training the idiots, but it is out of hand. If you are afraid of guns, you shouldn't have one.....badge or not.Returning to this incident: Approaching someone sitting in their back yard fiddling with a hose nozzle, or a gun (suppose he was cleaning his hand gun....that is a legal activity) certainly should require an announcement that there are officers present prior to opening fire.
