Police shoot unarmed man; get PTS counseling

Two Florida detective shoot and kill an unarmed man "because he moved the wrong way" so how does Pasco County (Florida) Sheriff's Department respond. It provides them with post traumatic stress counseling.
"When you talk about post-traumatic stress," Pasco County Sheriff Nocco said, "this is one of the things that will come to your mind immediately."
The fact that Brown wasn't armed isn't a concern, though, Nocco said. His criminal history included charges of armed robbery and grand theft.
"Nobody ever goes into these buy-busts thinking they're going to have to shoot somebody," he said. "That's not the intention."
Silly us! Why should anyone be concerned as to whether the deceased posed a threat to the police?
