The police of today are not the peace officers of yesterday. They only know to kill. All it would have taken would have been a stun gun or either wait out the man with the screw driver. I am sure this incedent did'nt have to end in this mans death. We need peace officers back and not these jack booted thugs we have as police officers of today. Not all are bad as of yet but sooner or later we will be left with only the highly trained killers of today, dressed in black,hidden faces and name tags, and following orders no matter what the orders are....

Do you think it is because you are just a good citizen or luck.
Someone could call the Police on you, and you could be sitting in the back of a Police cruiser, to be fingerprinted. That's what I am talking about!
Not just this case, but did you read in the Paper where the lady from Glade Springs Va, had the identical thing happen to her? She wasn't even in the area where she was suppossed to have committed the offenses. and this is not the only case..it goes on..and on...
Everyone who goes to jail or simply arrested is not guitly.
