in my opinion if he has his hands up and still advances towards the officer after being told to stop he would be acting in an aggressive manner.

I am glad that Obama has dispatched to the scene a really fair and impartial guy.

I am also withholding judgment until more facts come out. I do have a question about the "Hands up" as being the universal sign for surrender. Lets suppose a perp put his hands up and said don't shoot, but he continues to approach an officer after being told to stop. Should he still be considered as surrendering,or should his motives be viewed as something sinister, such as wanting to get closer to attack, under the guise of surrendering? Even the Warren commission could not get a magic bullet to travel from arms held up to the chest cavity............ I think we can be fairly certain his hands were nowhere near up, unless Obama has repealed the laws of physics as well......

In recent years, there has been an increase in a "swat" mentality with cops. The most recent trend is for small town police departments to have military vehicles and other war-like weapons.

Roman, it's not always the equipment that determines abuse, Streator PD had Thompson machine guns going back to the 30's, for all I know, they might still be there ( they were in the 90's at least ).
It is the mentality of the Cop, not the equipment that determines the abuse a citizen faces.

That is what I heard also, their getting prepared for the certain people to revolt against all this mess, so the Government gave all these towns/ cities weapons.
