Regarding the Lafayette, La. Shooting
Again, since I can't offer comments on the article page, I'm offering them here.
As to the shooting of the man in Lafayette, La. - my condolences to his family. So sorry for your loss. That's my message to them.
My message to the rest of us - I've got an innovative idea! How about obeying the commands of police officers, especially when you were seen threatening with the knife? Or, better yet, not threatening to begin with? After all, when you're threatening, when you're then not following directives, then it's, "Well, now that we know this, friend, we can't protest like we were planning to. We thought you were targeted for no apparent reason. But, now, we see the officers DID have a reason. Sorry, but you're on your own for this one. You brought it upon yourself."
