The Good Guys Just Can't Win In the MSM

The critics in the MSM are already finding fault with the shooting of a bombing suspect at the Miami airport. I don't understand one angle of focus. Evidently, the fact that the bombing suspect's wife was yelling that he's bipolar has some relevance to the story (assuming the agents even heard her). Ok, a guy who is acting frantically and saying he has a bomb is dangerous and needs to be stopped, but somehow a mentally ill guy acting frantically and saying he has bomb is less dangerous? I would think the mental instability makes him more of a risk.

The same sentiment was raised a few years ago here in Minnepolis when police officers shot and killed a Somali man carrying a machete who was not responding to orders to stop. I didn't get it then either.

On the Today Show, Katie Couric couldn't understand why we can't institute a policy to "shoot to wound" or in some other way "whithout resulting in the person's death"? It ain't the movies, Katie. The hero can't just wing the bad guy at will with just enough accuracy to stop his actions but not enough to kill him. Get out to the gun club and give it a try or actually listen to trained law enforcement officials, then come back to that question. What would you be saying if this was a bomber who was only wounded and managed to still detonate an explosive? I'm guessing it wouldn't be praise for the U.S. Air Marshalls.

If the man who was shot was indeed not a bomber, then his loss is unfortunate, but I am comforted to know that our agents our willing to act quickly and decisively to protect our safety.
