So will there be a broad-based reform around the country kicked off? I mean, if I'm a police chief in this environment I'd be a bit anxious to make some changes.

I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY to learn on CNN that the victims drove away from a traffic stop and led the cops on a 22 mile high speed pursuit *before* they were shot at. :huh:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yes and the PD response was a completely normal and proportionate response to a someone evading a traffic stop.

What was the cause of the traffic stop?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

BTW, O'Donnel just last fall won election to Ohio's Supreme Court. :bleeding:

He's a no-nonsense judge who puts dangerous criminals behind bars.

You should elect Dredd instead- a no-nonsense judge who puts dangerous criminals in the ground.
