The article lacks many important details, but it appears that the officer's vest stopped the bullets - as it was supposed too do. Nothing suggests that the suspect had any kind of "armor piercing" bullets so the anti's won't be able to make much of it.

And yes, I hope this jerk gets sent away for so long you don't have to worry about him on this planet.

I'll bet he's one of those Canadians who sneak across the border now and then.

Not to get too far off topic, but Senator Craig's wife was my first grade teacher up in Coeur d' Alene.

Sheesh! Don't think about it. The media could have a field day on the person who lambasted this poor individual coming from a poor country and who had a diffcult childhood.

I'm still wondering why the cops haven't transformed this guy into Swiss Cheese the next instant. Here, cop shootings rarely go to court as the accused usually already faces a heavenly court....

We have recently have had a string of cop involved shootings. We had once guy even try to take on a group of cops, 3 city, two county and one state. With a SKS, Well, he suffered form lead poisoning. We just recently fired our mayor and our police chief, cops are now very hesitent to shoot a guy down if they don't have too. They are getting the reputation of a "bang!, stop or I will shoot!" type of force
