Just has 5 cops shot and one died when the gunmen got off 100 rounds. The police in that situation was in the same kind of situation . They got a call about an armed man who was deranged as that is what the prankster in this situation set it up to be.

They were talking to the guy, knew he was armed and was dangerous. In the original case the guy was yelling "Don't shoot me".

I guess people in this country need to accept and get used to the fact that the cops could come to their home any moment with guns blazing and behave accordingly in hopes they don't get shot.

And they need to realize they may still get shot even when they comply.

The prankster claimed he had just shot his dad and was holding his mom and brother hostage, Wichita deputy police chief Troy Livingston told reporters.

He then gave police the address of his nemesis.


When officers arrived, they surrounded the house where they were told a possible shooting had taken place.

Andrew Finch walked out the front door. He raised and dropped his hands multiple times before an officer opened fire, killing him with one shot.




Wow. Sounds like police were a little trigger happy on this call. Who should be charged with murder?

The police had every reason to believe it was a real event. The guy who opened the door pointed at them and they thought he was pointing a gun at them and thus shot him. The idiot that made the call and tge idiot that gave the wrong address shoukd be charged with murder.

The terrorist cops know that there is a large percentage of people in this country that will support them no matter what. Only thing to remedy the situation at this time is for survivors and relatives to sue cities for as much as can be gotten. However, it would nice if they could also put a dent in police pensions.

Not even close.

For starters the killer was "known to police" while the victim was not.

Knee-jerk blanket attacks on cops are not refuted by equally blind mass defenses of policing failures.

As well as the ONE cop that shot the guy claiming he reached for his waist while you saying he was "pointing"....while none of the other cops thought it worth shooting over.
