Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I prefer the hand-trowel. Easier to conceal. Also available with rifle-stock for long-range shoots.

Not funny; the rate at which trigger happy idiot cops are slaughtering mentally ill people in this country is horrific. Police in England and other countries where firearms aren’t routinely carried are able to use their training to deescalate situations like that described in the OP without harming the person needing apprehension and medical intervention, but here our cops invariably fail to employ deescalation tactics and instead jump to use a firearm when quite obviously a taser would have been more than adequate to meet the ‘threat’.

Policing in this country has become a widespread epidemic of human rights violations.

Yeah, the shooting isn't funny.

But the stupid header "Cop fatally shoots man with shovel" is funny and the subject line (When guns are outlawed) is very smart.

The police literally get away with murder.

Does anyone know what type of shovel was brandished?

To get from the nunnery to the school where she was a beginning teacher, the young nun had to pass by a construction site where an addition was being built onto the church. Each time she walked by, the men on the construction crew would make cat calls and whistle because they knew it annoyed her. They would also curse at each other, taking the Lord's name in vain, among other things. One day the harassment was more than she could bear. When she got back to the nunnery, she asked to speak to the Mother Superior. She complained about the men.

The Mother Superior said "It's no big deal sister". It's just that some men can be very crude. They tend to call a spade a spade".

"But Mother Superior," she cried, "he called it a fu_ _ing shovel".

It always was. It's just a little harder for the thugs in blue to cover it up as easily.
