Modern Valiance

An ATF agent off-duty caps a guy armed with a flashlight for having an intoxicated argument with his girlfriend.  Brilliant use of force, Agent Clark.  I hope they burn you.

Crucify this "agent". Shooting a guy armed with a flashlight 5 times is justifiable force? What a tough guy. Why not just drive away, since he was in his car? Why didn't he have a non-lethal weapon like OC/CS to use instead? A regular citizen with a permit to carry would be in deep guano if he were in this situation. Why should Clark receive special treatment? Because he's a "federal" agent? Of the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms), not the FBI! A thug with a badge is still a thug.
