"The other day" = almost two months ago. Also, apparently (this is one of those stories with three sides) he was holding a fake gun without an orange tip or similar. Police say he was brandishing it, others say he didn't even have it on him. Who knows.

This is what I get for not following the news. I also remember a case years ago on Bondi beach where a guy having a psychotic break and brandishing a knife was killed. If I remember correctly this was used a justification for introducing tasers.

I should have said rarely.
