"... in Fargo, North Dakota nearly killed two NDSU students, and it was all because officers thought their telescope was a rifle, and their sweater was a "tactical vest."

Stupid kids! And the cop needs to go be garbage boy at Macdonalds! I don't want him flipping my burgers! That's just so stupid it makes your skin crawl!

Slow night?
Too many movies of Los Angeles?
I mean there is no worse duty on the planet than Fargo in the winter.What do you do with this guy?

Just another cop itching to pull the trigger but thankfully this one was waiting for so kind of excuse.

I have a 12" f5 Dobsonian (a much larger telescope than the one shown in this article) that the local constabulary thought was a cannon I had set up in my front yard. Fortunately there were no trigger-happy officers on patrol that night.

These kids werent being stupid at all, this is yet another case where VERY poor leo training arises.. And these bubblegumers are armed!

A telescope and a tactical sweater is why you're going to shoot those poor kids?
Jesus christ.

Where is the accountability?
Even if these guys had someone call the cops on them, unless the first on scene officer is Mr. Magoo he should have seen what the deal was and driven off.

Nancy pelosi must have given him his weapons identification training.

Probably thought it was that should thing that goes up. Those are illegal.

Scary.

He shot 49 times!

137 total.

That still amazes me.
I fully believe in firing until you gun goes click, but to reload, and reload.
It's beyond understandable.
If any civilian did that they would be in jail.

Sorry ZA, But I have to disagree with you! If someone shines a bright light at you and yells "stop moving or I'll fire!" Time to shut up and freeze! Not stand around and debate why the "bully's" are acting so weird! Stupid kids but I'm glad they're okay!
