A second officer said Loxas was holding something that could be considered a weapon.

“There’s a lot of factors that go into the decision to shoot — certainly the presence of a weapon is one of the, or the perceived presence of a weapon,” said Clark.

A loaded pistol, shotgun and improvised explosive device were found inside the home, police said.

The device contained black powder and ball bearings and was safely diffused by police.

Thanks for the aditl info.Still from all the info,it seems this one particular cop is pretty trigger happy.That along with endless stories of cops shooting family pets,I have to conclude a lot of officers are getting brazen with the use of force.And that may one day come back on them.Not that I sanction violence,but when those who are supposed to protect and serve wind up oppressing,the citizenry will no doubt bring that oppression to a swift and abrupt halt.

Don't get me wrong.There are many,many good people serving the communities as LEO’s,I've met many over the course of my life.Having said that,there are many more Barney Fifes out there as well who need to be reigned in before the citizenry is forced out of necessity to do so.

So you think it is OK for trained cops to kill an unarmed man holding a baby, if they discover later that he had firearms in his house.

Boot-lickers don’t care much for the 2nd Amendment. Only government agents should have guns, right?

I think you have a point although over all it appears this guy was trigger happy

If you think the guy has a gun and he is holding a baby the fear is he will point the gun at the baby ....then what? It gets a lot more complicated

It sounds like the cops didnt know he even had a baby in his arms however.

There are also a lot of suicides by cops going on and this might be one
