rats- thanks for the inside of the story. the coppers done good. here in alb. there was a similar incident last night but a cop was shot. other cops responded by sneaking up on the ill varmint and assassinating him quickly. most of their confrontations with the mentally ill here end up with the ill one dead often armed only with knives or nothing. last night's incident was different - the man was an immediate lethal threat to everyone on the streets. abqtrib.com it's a touchy subject to think about. on the one hand you want law enforcement to protect and defend and to assert the authority we've given them without backing down. on the other hand you'd like to see more non-lethal force used sometimes. i respect and appreciate the jobs they do as long as they don't try to become a judge and a jury. there was a killing by a cop on caye caulker when i was there - it's a story for later when i get my letters from belize written up. a lot of drama and emotions were flying around. that's all i have for now. this is el polvo reporting for NNBM news... good day . . . . . . . . . to die
