Blackmouth,

Drivel? Really? Based on what? I called it negative and ironic. I did not and do not condone Johnson's deed of shooting anyone. But seriously, can anyone other than a hard core racist conclude that every one of these blacks shot by cops is a "good" shoot? I can't, and I'm on record as favoring the immediate dispatch of perps caught in a smash and grab of an unoccupied vehicle.

RVW,

We seldom agree on anything, so no real surprise here either. With more information available, I see that Sterling was a felon in possession of a firearm he isn't legally allowed to possess. You think that merits on the spot execution without due process, I think it's outside the bounds of justice, especially since they had him restrained and pinned to the ground.

Rich,

That level of marksmanship is entirely possible. Remember that Lee Harvey Oswald used a 6.5 mm WWII surplus bolt action carbine he bought from Klien's mail order in Chicago for $13 and iron sights to hit Kennedy from the book depository.
