His family is very upset and angry with the police.

What is your reaction? What is your first question? What do you think will happen? What do you think should happen?
Saw the Wesh2 news video and story on the internet, and my first reaction was that they could just play that piece on a regular basis. Just change the names, because the story is always the same: known drug dealer with a long criminal record brandishes a gun during an arrest, police shoot him, and the family is distraught that their loved one was "gunned down". What is really pathetic is that the beat goes on and on.
