5. Doesn't matter much, but good to know

I can't see any excuse for what happened, even of he was a felon. Felons and police confront each other all the time, without a fusillade of shots ending an unarmed person's life.

Why isn't that cop in custody yet?

He was being smeared as a murderer... JaneyVee Sep 2014 #13
I'm saying that just dropping the word "serious" in there is a smear XemaSab Sep 2014 #17

I don't think so. He could well have had some felonies in his record, and it was better pnwmom Sep 2014 #32
