APPLETON — Two Wisconsin officers were justified when they shot and killed a man who got in a gunfight with police that left a city firefighter dead in the crossfire last month, a prosecutor said.
Outagamie County District Attorney Melinda Tempelis said that Officer Paul Christensen and Sgt. Christopher Biese won’t face criminal charges.
Christensen and Biese exchanged shots with Ruben Houston, 47, of Wausau, on May 15 outside of Appleton’s downtown transit center. Christensen was wounded, along with a bystander. Both have been released from the hospital.
When the bus arrived at the transit center, a bus passenger thought Houston was having a seizure and called 911 for help. Lundgaard arrived with other firefighters and began providing aid to Houston.
Houston regained consciousness after responders determined he likely had suffered a drug overdose and gave him two doses of Narcan.

It's obvious why these policemen had to shoot the guy.
Can you clarify your question please?

Why Police Shoot People
I can provide a video to suit my counter-argument.
Take Daniel Shaver for instance.
See what I did there? Your thread is pointless.
Didn't change my opinion.
**** the Police.

Could be, and the drugs dont do or stir anything that was not there to begin with.
Like they say, there are violent drunks, but here are also happy drunks. Either way both end up with headaches the day after.
