    Oh wow, this is .. really terribly awful.

    "a few years ago a police officer shot and paralyzed a guy that had crashed his car as he tried to escape the wreckage"

    I think the whole problem with America really is the fucking gun culture. Guns are just too easy and too lethal a weapon to deploy in most circumstances - they instill fear in good people and shit cops, and they escalate every confrontation or - as here - enable remote decision making to have terrible consequence.

    We have some armed police here in Britain, but it's not at all common...
