Interesting. I think I did update mathjax, I'll take a look. It acts up a bit for me as well (but not that bad)... what browser?
@mur2501 editing?
@amerika I've been on ride-alongs.
You are still missing the point, when cops deal with the same sort of incident as the one we are describing, same risks, in other countries the end result is rarely to execute the person. So pointing out the american cops take on some risk, which is true, isnt particularly relevant to the point that they appear to reduce their risk by killing people where by in other countries in the same situation they would not.
@amerika I am pro-gun, I really dont care if people are armed.
You completely avoided the main point, in most countries a person like this would be subdued and in a mental hospital, more often than not they are not killed even if they are dangerous. In other countries cops actually put them selves at risk to save lives. Any other spin on this is rhetoric.
@miyon Nice, thanks for the update!
@amerika none of that was in question. No one is denying that he is "crazy" or even dangerous. The issue people have is that we pay these cops to deal with dangerous crazy people and we dont pay them to shoot them. the truth is there are crazy dangerous people in other countries all the time and more often than not the cops do their job and are able to (usually) subdue such people and they them the help they need. We expect the same from our cops. In fact many police in many nations dont even have guns to ensure that isnt even an option for them.
@amerika He was having a bipolar episode and had called the hospital to have him taken to a mental institution at the time.
@valleyforge Depending on how the election goes you may not have access to revolvers much longer :)
It is supported, you use it by surrounding the expression with a backslash then a parenthesis like this but without the space:

@mur2501 Sorry for the scare :)
@mur2501 It is but that was posted in plain text mode so markdown wouldnt render. If it were posted in mark down mode it would have rendered as bold like **this** did.
@Gargron morning.
@mur2501 For emphasis.
@design_RG thanks!
