Please keep that type of thing in your neighborhhod.

Get over it. Sex, no matter if it's gay or straight, is not appropriate for public places.

Should they have to be disturbed because some family is uncomfortable with sex? We have a serious problem when people are disturbed or disgusted by sex, including if they're disturbed or disgusted by the thought or sight of other people having sex.
I really don't care if people have sex, nor do I care how they have sex, or with whom. I just don't think it should be a public activity. Most of society, and the law of the land, is in agreement.

I think those caught in the act of sex in public places should get the water cannon treatment.

Nonsense. The law doesn't require a cop to make sure he "fights fair" when attacked.

If you choose to physically attack a cop, Darwin's Law will most likely intervene on the side of the cop and help clean up the gene pool.

The entire premise of this thread is getting obfuscated by an absurd notion that sexuality should be publicly allowed.
Keep those blinders on.

You know that Zappa didn't do drugs, right? He also had a pretty strict "no drug usage (or effects from usage) while on the job" policy for band members. A couple guys got canned for that over the years.

Here's a funny Zappa quote on LSD: "Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?"

I still find it odd that the undercover detective didn't have non-lethal weapons such as pepper spray or a taser. Don't they teach law enforcement that for the get-go? I agree with other poster who said that there's something fishy about the detective's story.

The detective KNOWS how to use a gun properly and could have shot the guy in a non-fatal area of the body (leg, arm) instead of killing the poor guy! So what if the CEO was a supposed closeted homosexual? That's not the issue here. The issue is that the detective screwed up, period and should go to trial for it. I think that he shouldn't have had to use deadly force and should have called for backup if the CEO was really making that much of a problem for the officer.

Let this be a lesson to undercover law enforcement: ALWAYS bring a non-lethal weapon with you! Tasers and pepper-spray I suggest.

Law enforcement personnel are not trained to fire their weapon only to wound. It is to kill.

Regardless, the undercover detective shouldn't have killed the guy.

That is not for you or I to say. I don't believe there are enough details to make solid judgment.
