Thanks for your post Jeff. Interesting and insightful analysis.
I question whether or not this whole event, orchestrated by law enforcement, was even necessary. It placed everyone’s lives in potential danger, and all t took was one wrong move, whether intentional or not, to cause a man to lose his life.
Unnecessary action and frankly, over-reaction by law enforcement has become the norm, and I make that statement while sitting in the murder capital of the United States, Chicago Illinois. I passed through the second worst gang and drug infested neighborhood in the city to get to work today.
I don’t know who my life is in more danger from: the Chicago Police and their shoot first, cover it up later mentality, or the gang bangers. My heart skips a beat and my stomach sinks at the sight of both.
I agree...it was unnecessary.
