'Cops' crew member killed in police shooting - CNN.com

I guess they listen to police scanners and go to the scene at the same time as the cops? An audio technician on the show was accidentally shot and killed by police while filming a robbery in progress for the show. Very, very sad, but to be honest I'm surprised it's taken so long, that's a dangerous job.

No, they are embedded with the cops.

The perp only had an aerosoft (toy) gun. This is a damned shame.

Because an innocent man was killed because the cops thought the perp had a real gun.

Wow I didn't know that show was still on.
The title should be more clear - he was killed by police who were trying to kill a perpetrator with a BB gun. Given the number of times I watch cops and see police improper firearms tactics (namely, sweeping each other) - I am not really surprised.

Fox canceled it and Spike picked it up.

He shot at the police.

They should have returned fire.

I don't think I said they shouldn't have. But someone posted "how so" in what looked like a response to a poster who said it was a shame that the guy was killed, and my post was in response to him...it's a shame because the guy was innocent.

Shooting at gun at the cops is a crime.
