Agree that we are "intelligent and sentient beings, and I also agree that we "do what is necessary"-which includes having sworn in P.O.S.T. trained background checked law enforcment  (a rare few slip through the cracks) to have the 'best' do what is necessary to do, on all of our behalf. 

Another person (to whom I had actually replied)  added this "Police are taught to shoot and little else. It seems to be becoming their first resort and they chase down people, not to apprehend them, but to kill them. (how twisted of thinking is that?) And "A free people should not tolerate this." (Wow!)  And I will wager a guess I know a lot more various agency LEO's than this person. That is the last thing they want to do. Ever.

(And him writing this to me->)  "You must believe that anyone who is impaired due to mental illness or other cause can be executed on the spot" is not only wholly incorrect,  it borders on delusion coupled with outright lies. And all to achieve that persons twisted agenda.
