Google John Crawford and take a look at his past criminal history and the run ins with the law he has had and then come back on an explain where you can classify him as a law abiding citizen. Walking around in a Walmart with an unpackage gun (albeit a BB gun) in this day an age is probably one of the stupidest things anyone can do! Go to your local Walmart were the BB guns are shelved and you will notice they are all contained within packaging. Why would anyone unpackage one or pick up one unpackaged and walk around a store with it pointing it at people? That's just common sense if you ask me. Mr. Crawfords actions deliberately contributed to his demise. Im sure had he been walking around with the gun in its original packaging he would be alive today. In today's crazy society actions like his are totally unexceptable. The police also have a right to go home to their families at the end of their shifts and sometimes all they have to go on is the situation in front of them. Sometimes they have to make that split second decision of kill or be killed. Especially when the individual in front of them refuses to obey their simple commands.
