The police were just doing what they had to do to protect themselves. At the time they thought he had a gun, if it was not a gun and was in fact a controller, then they messed up.
Fact is, he should have just let the police in, instead of having them break the door down. Dumb criminals who act like morons on top of the crime they did deserve what they get.
And maybe if Sony had shipped more ps3's to this country people wouldn't be shooting each other for them. I say when you launch it....launch it full out, full production, not just a few at a time.
