That is because I have several members of my family and several close friends who were in law enforcement. Also the policemen who every year came to my class in school to talk to the children. I have never had any run in's with the law other than the shameful speeding ticket I got about thirty years ago. I have nothing but positive feelings about law enforcement. It is hard for me to think otherwise.
WHY would a man shoot someone for doing nothing???? Black, white, yellow, pink, red or purple? And if it was the first time that you shot at a human, wouldn't that make you awfully nervous? It would me. If I was protecting my children, I would shoot until they weren't moving. I have never shot a gun, so this is all conjecture.

I really don't know why anyone would anyone would shoot another person who was not threatening them or another person, but unfortunately it does happen far too much. It is sometimes by mistake, as the Grandmother, sometimes just plain murder and sometimes because of panic. I hope that the professionals that we employ to protect society would have the expertise to know when to shoot. However, it has been know that they are not infallible and above the law.
