Wow, Is there no such thing as middle ground anymore? There certainly is no higher ground for sure. It would seem to me that officers in this city as well as in many others fear more for their lives then they do the citizens they swear to serve and protect. I believe a thorough review of police hostage situations needs to be investigated because as in so many fatal encounters, it is likely the process followed that leads to death rather than actual officer ineptitude. Shoot if feel threatened. With so many officers present at the time of the shooting, no one in command had the foresight to train scopes on the boy to see what he was holding! Considering the ridiculous amount of time we spend reviewing a play during a football game, can we not pay half as much attention to actual lives of people in distress? What about non-lethal measures to subdue? Where is the money for that? And all anybody wants is a raise
