SPOKANE: Police sure are active

| January 26, 2011 9:00 PM

What the hell is going on with all these police-involved shootings in Spokane, another one last weekend? Are the police in that much danger that they have to use their guns to stop the situation? Their billy club or a taser is not good enough? To me it sounds that they're trigger happy. I hope I'm wrong.

Heard of a shooting over the weekend in Los Angeles. Early morning hours a man running around naked near a condo complex. He did have physical contact with two officers, he was shot twice and later died. Two officers trying to subdue one naked man who had no weapons, couldn't control him with their billy clubs or a taser? I think this is a serious problem that should be looked into.
