   You mean the case where some cop was bored, so he burst into
a Sunday school class and shot the first black teenager he could find.
Disgusting. No wonder Dudley Laws/protests-R-us Inc. was upset.
 
   The official version claimed that the cop chased a suspect from a
2 AM burglary at an electronics warehouse. He cornered the suspect,
ordered him to turn around and, when ignored, reached out one hand to
turn him around. At that point he slipped and fired his gun. Gee,
who'd believe a story like that ?? Your version is far more credible.
 
   On a more serious note, every time that self-serving agitators
hijack an investigation into a police shooting for their own political
purposes, they waste an opportunity to contribute to procedures which
make arrests safer for officers and suspects.
 
   IMO Dudley Laws and his ilk are more concerned with revenge against
the officer involved and police in general than with building a safer
society. Of course, those who consider themselves outside of society
don't really care whether it's safe or not.
