Now they are shooting people who are asleep...thankfully these four Keystone Cops were not good shots.



(10-25) 09:51 PDT SAN JOSE --

A drunken Halloween party-goer rousted by San Jose police on a hotel stairwell was shot by officers after he reached for a fake gun he had tucked into his surgeon's costume, authorities said.
...
Officers found Gonzales-Guerrero either passed out or sleeping in a stairwell, said police Sgt. Jason Dwyer. They could see the butt of a gun in his waistband, Dwyer said.

They called out to him, and he awoke and reached for what turned out to be a gold-color fake firearm, police said.

Fearing he was going to shoot them, Sgt. Brian Johst and officers Mark Stephens, Gary Petrakovitz and Tim Stephens all fired at Gonzales-Guerrero, hitting him numerous times but not inflicting any life-threatening wounds, Dwyer said.

Law abiding citizens with lawful guns may feel less safe from these cops who by merely seeing a gun is grounds to shoot. I'll bet he wasn't even reaching for it.

I give up, what is it? :confused:

- Mundanes must never have any type of weapon, real or fake, within 50 yards of themselves when the Police are present?
- Mundanes must respect the authoritay of the Police, even while sleeping?
