Funny because I only picked those words in hopes that you might see the logic that you were using. I actually gave up hope when you failed your logic test by asserting that one officer shooting his service weapon was the right thing to do but the other officer for using non-lethal means was too. You instead tried to wordsmith it away. That's when I knew that you were deceiving yourself, cognitive dissonance, in order to support the paradigm you desire in spite of reality. The only reason I have continued to respond is for other readers.

It has been your logic that perception creates reality and the officers should be judged based on the weapony assertion you and they make of what looks like a guy trying to take a picture to anybody that isn't a hammer (figuratively speaking to draw upon the hammer/nail analogy).

You have repeatedly condemned your own logic by ascribing it to me when in reality it was you and the officers that imagined a threat where none existed. end
