You know what, we've had more than our fair share of discussions about such incidents lately. I'm not so sure that this forum is best served as the "crawl up every police incident's butt and dissect it from the inside out" forum.

Given the normally sketchy nature of facts reported in the newspapers, combined with the confusion thrown in by local interest groups, topped with the normal range of responses here, virtually no light enters into these discussions anymore.

Let's give this subject a rest for awhile.

Closed.
