suicide by cop. Glad the good guys weren't hurt.
Sig220,
I have a friend that shot and killed someone in the line of duty. The thing that shocked me is the mother of the guy he shot thanked him. At that point I didn't know the full story of what had transpired. After hearing what happened I understood why but have to admit it was still a shock.
I may not have approached the officers with a gun, probably check in on what the plan was and then proceed. I know that doesn't bring the rancher back. His wife having a heart attack from the news is pretty sad also. Sometimes it's a bad deal all around and hopefully we learn from it.

Michael Brown's friend saw him put his hands up and say don't shoot also. Don't get roped into a media piece before the investigation is over.
At least one of them had a semiautomatic rifle, perhaps an AR-15, an adaptation of the military M16.
