And I would hope the investigator would also not have the same bias as Mr. Kushner to assume the mpls police are trigger happy, especially before all the facts are in on this case, and not just based on one newspaper article. He cites "numerous" shooting by police in the last few years, and I would remind him, and everyone else who's first reaction to this story is anger at the police, that police work is dirty and dangerous. If I am confronted by a man walking down the street with a machete, I want the police to use the force they deem necessary to protect me, and not have to hesitate worrying about knee-jerk public reaction if they pull the trigger. mark wilde windom park __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
