Random thoughts:

Is it important to announce "he was armed" if the guy didn't resist arrest or even draw his firearm?

Would they be saying that if this guy was not the target in a manhunt, and peacefully arrested for something else?

We live in a state that is very pro-firearm, which I'm not necessarily against, but I have mixed thoughts about having a media that feels compelled to point out everyone who is carrying.

Sorry, but this POS doesn't deserve a trial.  Sexually assaults a child, gets out, murders two "children" and an adult.

Trial, yes no matter how much of a POS. Real question - Why was his bond only set at $100,000 ? Too easy for a lot of of people to make bail.

i think it just shows how tense of a situation it was... it's not an easy situation for anyone, the cops have to protect themselves and the suspect.
