Old Man Shot By Fearful Deputy

A 70 year old man was shot by a sheriff's deputy while reaching for his walking cane. The deputy thought the cane was a rifle:

“It does appear, at this time, that Deputy Knox’s actions were an appropriate response to what he reasonably believed to be an imminent threat to his life.”

WTF ???

Why are we tolerating shit like this? Why are cops trained to do this?

Are they public servants or trigger happy miscreants?
