We have paid out more than once. With the amount of violence around here and the number of murders taking place weekly, guns are not something the LBPD second guesses about.
There may be better ways, in fact I'm sure there are. This guy had a long history of drunkenness and rehab. No telling exactly how he was behaving. The chief of police is saying the guy had the hose nozzle between his hands just like you'd hold a pistol. And that he raised the nozzle up as if to shoot.
We'll see.
