"Chief Wilson wants to nail the bastards who killed the poor lady in Montgomery, Al.. " Well the Chief had his chance to nail the bastards in Ala. What happened to the cop's guns? They had 2 or 3 murderers in their sights and managed to do nothing to stop them....I think Chief has a lot of explaining or CYA to do!

That is not the fault of our police or of the Chief - it is the fault of our illustrious Mayor bobby NOT SO bright. HE has instituted a policy that basically ties our polices hands -- they must be "in danger of their life" or another person "must be in imminent danger" for our cops to shoot a suspect. If the suspect is running they must subdue him/her/them -- if they shoot them they LOSE THEIR JOB!

We have a liberal pipsquek suck up to the "underpriviledged" mayor. Their was a shooting of a Black Teen right after he took over - the kid had beaten an old woman and was running from the cops, I don;t remember all the details, but he was shot and it turned out the only weapon he had was a knife.

Losing their jobs may be the least of their worries. The police could be charged with a crime in today's PC environment.

Thanks for the this reply. Amazing how many on Free Republic are going after John Wilson and saying nothing about PC Moose. They either hate all cops including the good cops or they love PC Moose and enter Straw Men Bravo Sierra to make good cops look bad.
