Detained shoplifter in Ohio Walmart pulls a loaded gun on a police officer and pulls the trigger....

I get the mentally ill part. Most of the time we should be able to identify them. “People who would pull a gun on a police officer” would be harder to identify ahead of the act, I’d think.

This guy's HUGE neck tattoo should have been a hint.

Carry a gun and shoot back.

That's exactly the point, we can have shoot-outs in the street

So Libs how much prison time should this POS get?

I say 50 full years no parole

If someone starts shooting, while I agree the best tactic is to skedaddle, it's always nice to have the option to shoot back. LOL

Remember when all the Democrats predicted "shootouts in the streets" when gun laws were relaxed in the 1990s? The only thing I recall is when a cop shot a black guy in the back because he had a gun. It turned out the black guy was the good guy.

Mad respect for that officer, he showed great restraint by not shoot that kid.

That kid is going to kill someone it's just a matter of time

Not if he is in prison.

He won't be

He will get something like 12 years and out and seven

I'll be surprised if you get an answer to that.

Fair enough although AFAIC anyone who attempts murder is no less guilty than someone who actually did. It's just luck on their part they didn't succeed.
