2383 - Police

No not the band. The guys on the street with guns. The guys that have been a little trigger happy lately.


Here are some news stories from the past month that might show that the boys in blue are going a little nuts. Ready, aim, fire has become fire fire fire and fire some more.

I thought I had five incidents. Turns out one was a duplicate. I'm sure there would be more if I dug a little deeper.

Too many Quick Draw McGraws!

It looks like a lot of cops tended to shoot first, ask questions later.

Mike said...

Angel - Yes they do.

Peg - Sad and crazy.

Heidi - Way to many.

Leroy - I don't think they even bother with the later questions.
