Carefully.... is how they are supposed to react. It's still legal to walk around with any weapon like that.
We still don't know exactly how the 13 yo "threatened" the police. All we know is that he *may* have turned around when they yelled at him. Autopsy will reveal more.
Still leaning toward the trigger happy opinion. As for the guy you cite, he was a WANTED felon. Not even a reasonable comparison, but it does lead to the question - if the police are now scared all of the time because of how whacky society is, then is it reasonable for them to shoot if they get nervous?
If so, it's going to get messy.

This thread reminds me of this joke now
Musharraf calls Bush on 11th sept:
Musharraf: Mr President, I would like to express my condolences to you. It is a real tragedy. So many people, such great buildings. I would like to ensure that we had nothing in connection with that.
Bush: What buildings? What people??
Musharraf: Oh, and what time is it in America now?
Bush: It's eight in the morning.
Musharraf: Oops...Will call you back in an hour!

I think your local setting for the codeproject is wrong for my country, it clams that I will write this 6:57, while it is actually 7:57 here. Perhaps you have fed the servers some coffee after all

How did you apply for the job?
Hello World!
|

I heard there was a vacancy via myself, and then invited myself to an interview. Nice guy, nice interview - I met me in a pub and we talked it over while downing a few beers. A quick competence test, and discussion of salary, holiday, and perks (whatever I can get, none, and none) and I was in. Been here for ten years or so now, and not planning on leaving, though I can be a hard b@stard of a boss from time to time. The daily commute is nice and easy!

Good job. 
When was the last time you asked for a raise from your boss
Hello World!

Apparently, I can have a raise when I prove I am a better coder than him...
