His weapon was a crucifix

Another evangelical christian cult, nut job, meets his maker........

That only made him more cross.

"Get on the ground."

Come on, man, you have to demystify those complicated expectations.

That said, tasing AND shooting him at the same time? I mean it depends on what the guy did and why they were there, but come on, the cops couldn't grab shields and rush the guy? No K9? No pepper spray? No beanbag shot gun? No bolowrap?

Some cops need a little creativity before doing a mag dump.
