From the video it was Reeves who attacked the retired cop by knocking the popcorn into his face. No wonder he got shot. Even at 71 the retired cop still had good reflexes.

Edit that to Oulson that attacked.

“From the video it was Reeves who attacked the retired cop by knocking the popcorn into his face. No wonder he got shot. Even at 71 the retired cop still had good reflexes.”

- and piss-poor judgment to go along with his reflexes. For the record, Reeves is the name of the retired cop, Oulson the victim. But its pretty obvious to me, Reeves was ready to shoot Oulson, even before that popcorn was thrown. That's becoming very clear.

So, to be entirely clear, you think it's acceptable for a retired cop to shoot someone dead and endanger the people around him, over some thrown popcorn? Did Mrs. Oulson also deserve to be shot? Did the people around Oulson deserve to be endangered also? Reeves pretty much ruined everyone’s day, with an escalation of aggression.

Not that you're alone. The total approval of police retired or active, shooting anyone for almost anything, has become almost universally accepted in this country.
