While just a few miles north in Wisconsin he would have likely been shot. Which, frankly, he probably would have deserved because at that moment he was just a criminal assaulting someone with a deadly weapon.
And it would have been on video, being in a store.
Which video would have (A) vindicated the shooter and (B) served as a good classroom lesson for LEO's that abuse their power.
