[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 183963, member: 1514"] I havent read the book star refers to...maybe I dont want to. I can see both sides in this situation. Not only are the police killing the homeless and the mentally ill but gangs target them for initiation killings. They are easy prey. I dont think this is such a huge problem in smaller towns as it is in major metropolitan areas. Small towns can basically know who is who. Here if the cops come they know my son isnt going to try to kill them because they know him. This wouldnt be the case in a larger area. Under the same theory though...what are the cops supposed to do with a person who is coming at them with a bat or a broken bottle and wont put it down, refuses to stop, and a stun gun wont stop them? Sometimes these people do commit something known as suicide by cop. I have known good cops and bad cops. Most really dont want to kill people. [/QUOTE]
