Police aside, never ever confront somebody with a fake hand gun.

You are correct, NO white or orange tip at the end of the barrel. I though only actual toy guns had to have the orange tip.

Neither of you has put forth a single rational point in defense of this police action.

You’ve only slandered and attacked FReepers who question the necessity of killing someone for holding a gun in their own home.

I’m not sure if you two are anti-gun leftists, or just a couple of lying internet bullies.

What I do know, is that you do not conduct yourselves this way in public, else you’d often get your faces punched-in.

I have four of these replica BB pistols - none of them had an orange (or white) tip. I have a range set up in the backyard - would never fire a real pistol there. Nice little stress reliever when I don't have time to run to the range and shot a real pistol.

If a LE person came to inquire about my activity, I would immediately put the gun on the ground - it looks too much like a real pistol for any LE to take chances with it.

You pull a gun on me and I'll shoot you, too.

Same here. If someone is pointing a gun at you you're already behind the curve in terms of time to react. You either take action or wait for your fate.

The vic was a political adversary that they despise so actual adherence to the rule of law does not apply in their minds when the ends are justified by any means.

Not a total rarity on this freedom loving web site and very ugly when it rears its pointy little head.

Familiar with both the type and the tactic.

Nothing but slander and viciousness BECAUSE they cannot express a coherent argument.

More frequently seen on DU than here, thankfully.

Hollywood types aren’t known for their intelligence.

TMZ is reporting, “Authorities say she was suffering from some sort of eating disorder which triggered seizures. Apparently when police arrived at her apartment she was mid-seizure. Vanessa was on “ER” from 1994 to 1997. She accused George Clooney of booting her from the show and blacklisting her ... saying she was the victim of racist and sexist comments. “

not sure what kind of seizures involves grabbing a bbgun??
or is that the new Hollywood code for cray-cray?

When you point a gun at a cop - this is what happens.

She had a death wish.

South Pasadena is a sleepy bed room community south of Pasadena and west of high dollar San Marino. Their police department reflects the low stress living of the city. I’ve known several of their officers.

All were low key, non aggressive LEOs doing their jobs in a low crime rate community....easy duty!

Note: Gen, George Patton’s grandfather established the Southwest Military Academy in South Pasadena a couple of miles west of the Patton home in San Marino....

Well, she definitely was not guilty!

Well, from what I just read that may be true in more than appearance. There were articles saying when George Clooney spoke out against Harvey Weinstein, the actress, Vanessa Marquez, spoke out against George Clooney.

She wrote on Twitter: ‘Clooney helped blacklist me when I spoke up abt harassment on ER. ‘women who don't play the came lose career’ I did.’

Officials were summoned to her home Thursday after her landlord reported that he was concerned for her wellbeing.

If someone is having a medical emergency you call an ambulance, not the police and a mental health clinician.

Something about this story smells rotten. "We are the government and we are here to help you" ...unless we have to kill you.

>>I like honest cops who respect the Constitution and who uphold the law.

The dirty cops who plant evidence, lie to make false arrests, who shoot people they don’t like, who rob people on the side of the road, who lie to cover up for the crimes of other cops, who openly hold the Constitution in contempt, who can’t be bothered with the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments...yes, I hate them and I want them removed from their jobs and prosecuted when they should be.<<

Big deal. You seem to be implying that your thinking is somehow unique, but there’s little doubt that the vast majority of Americans think the same as you do. Although I’m sure most do not assume cops are guilty until proved innocent, so perhaps that’s where you’re thinking is unique.

>>How many girls own a BB gun? Something missing here.<<

Wouldn’t surprise me to learn that she wanted it because it LOOKED like a deadly weapon.
