Don't run from Air Marshals

Not sure why this story is getting ANY negative feedback. The U.S. Air Marshal did exactly what he was supposed to do. Certainly the entire country reaches out to the family of Rigoberto Alpizar, the man who had mental problems, ran from the Air Marshal and was subsequently killed. How was the U.S. Marshal, who shot him, to know the man was ill and hadn't taken his prescribed meds? He couldn't have known and so he was completely justified in shooting to kill.

The bottom line here is just as it is in every case where a would-be criminal runs from a cop after being told to stop. Worse yet, this guy supposedly went for a possible gun or bomb in his belongings. You just don't do that!

His wife claimed he was mentally ill, but didn't take his meds. How very tragic! Seriously! The message to be learned here is, take the frickin' meds!!!!!

The WaPo Online has the story.
