Then rebut those posters. In the meantime, the woman saw something and called the police to evaluate it. No one's rights were violated. He wasn't prevented from using the park.
?? What are you talking about? I quoted a post I agreed with and I added "totally agree".
You asked me to explain something, I explained it.
No I should not have called the police. He didn't do anything or make any threats. He just looked suspicious because of the marathon bombing. More suspicious looking than a man open carrying at a park playing with his kids. But we are not supposed to profile minorities.
MORE suspicious according to you.
Different people have different ideas of what is suspicious. As this man wasn't arrested, or deprived of any rights, it should be all good. I don't understand why you can't just shrug your shoulders and tell yourself that you wouldn't have called the police, but you're not her. She did what she thought was right (if she ever existed). Why do some have to insult her for that?

What a strange post.
You said this:
There are those here who are saying the man should NOT be in the park because he's carrying a firearm. The man has every right to use that park, which his tax dollars are paying for.

It's a perfectly appropriate response to your remark. Nothing strange about it.
In this case the caller lied and reported the guy with the "gun" was pointing it at others, including children. He is exactly the same as the "swatters" making fake police reports and should be charged for this man's death.
People who called the police should have been armed, then they could have shot him without going through a middle man.
If armed civilians had been there they likely would have recognized that the man wasn't threatening anyone and had a toy gun. Unlike the moron that panicked and made the call and caused this man's death.

How does that make any sense?
The trained police apparently didn't realize that he wasn't threatening and had a toy gun
If the "moron" who made the call obviously didn't realize that the man wasn't threatening and had a toy gun, so if said "moron" had had a gun how would they have been more likely to recognize that the man wasn't threatening and had a toy gun?

Guns don't kill people, telephones do
Or is it
People with guns don't kill people, people with telephones do
