Cheney shooting unnecessary
I have a hard time looking the other way on this issue. When three police officers cannot disarm a man with a knife it’s very disheartening, especially with today’s measures. With items like stun guns and pepper spray, why would you have to shoot to kill? Was there a warning shot fired? It was not mentioned in the newspaper.
What is the proper officer protocol in this situation? I cannot answer that. In my opinion this definitely was a unnecessary loss of life and could have been prevented.
