Probably didn't make the national news, since it came out a day later,
but the cop in question had been backed up into a bathtub, and was
shooting at someone flourishing a machette at a supine cop. He didn't
have much chance to retreat or practice his Tai Kwan Do from folded up
on his back, and probably had lots of reason to fear for his life.

Now how the hell he GOT INTO that ridiculous position I haven't a
clue, but that was on the local radio, not in the National Enquirer, so
I give it as much credence as the rest of the report.

And by the way, actions have consequences, even when you're crazy.

Quite a few of the much admired peace marchers of the '60s died for
their trouble, as do quite a few disturbed street people hassled by the
cops and responding in anger. Being shot and killed is part of the
territory of political activism, as of the territory of trying to
attack a cop, and we shouldn't go ballistic when it happens, but just
note it as another data point.

You have to take into account the typical response of undereducated,
underpaid, overstressed, overworked, undermanned cops hostile to your
intentions when you decide to take up a life of conspicuous criminal
activity, however good the cause.

Locally, cops trying to get a known mentally ill man out of his
bathroom, after reports of him brandishing weapons at passersby on the
street, one who was a threat to no one but himself at the time, shot
and killed him when he burst out the bathroom door at them with a
kitchen knife.

His family, and the local like-ethnic community, is in an uproar, but
local review called it justifiable homocide, as will any review board
anywhere in similar circumstances, and rightly.

Brandishing a weapon at someone who lives his life in daily fear of
being killed by just such a loony, loonies dealt with daily, is a
pretty sure guarantee to elicit a swift, terminal response, no matter
how otherwise enlightened the cop.

Credit Ronald Reagan for emptying the mental hospitals onto the city
streets.

The cop who doesn't respond to lethal threat with lethal force is
very soon the dead cop.  Why take a chance with hands or billy club
against eighteen inches of naked steel blade when the way to save
yourself from being maimed or killed is already in your hand and
pretty much guaranteed to do the job, and your training tells you
to use it in that situation?

I'm pretty sure I'd have shot her too. Repeatedly until she stopped
being a threat to me. And _then_ lost my lunch.

And more than likely, as a compulsive liberal, I'd have agreed with
her cause.

Kent, the man from xanth.

September arrived and the winds were brisk. There was a 
special tang of anticipation in the air. The campus had
been tidied, the trim painted and the pyres disposed of
in appropriate receptacles. Countless keyboards sat and
waited for the loving hands to arrive. The labs were up
and the consultants were ready.

The gates opened and thousands of young, hopeful people
poured through. They were ready and even eager to spill
their virginity on the grounds of the nearest local bar
with any suitable person willing to engage them in that
famous act. The facial detergents flowed, the boasts of
conquest were prepared. But a cloud came low and dark.

A pink windowless van arrived piloted by a mystic, dark
eyed stranger. The van pulled to a stop near the stairs
of the dorms. A plump fellow stepped forth and read all
of the words from a card.

Know ye fear all who enter for the word of the stranger
is quince and by the mark of the fruit is he to be kept
and his ways shall be your ways as the tooter of fancor 
is projected on the walls behind your sleeping heads so
go now to your beverage halls and weep in selection and

quickened sweat as the letterman cross-posts sink thick

I'm not sure how I rate compared to the other contestants, but some
pretty determined people have failed to wake me.  They used loud
noises, bright lights, icewater, shaking me, and I'm not sure what
all else.

On the other hand, I can often be woken with gentle scritching or a
back rub.  Gee, positive stimulus works wonders.

Of course, there's more to sleeping ability than being difficult to 
wake, and I know that I am not of championship caliber in the falling
asleep quickly department.  And I'm probably only slightly above
average in the sleeping in strange places catagory.  (Hmm.  I have
been known to take naps on balance beams or on top of railings...
and I did fall asleep standing up once.  Waking up, I nearly fell 
over, but I stayed stable and vertical until then.)

I think my personal record was the Disclave when I stayed awake for
