Recents incidents? As far as I know there has been one incident of police shooting a man with his hands up.

There has been a well crafted myth that this is happening all the time but I don't know too many people who actually believe it.

But,I'm still trying to figure how this happened. We have these anti gun laws that are supposed to protect people from things like this. Didn't this guy know that it was against the law to have a gun in the airport?
