Police and the 'scary' mental cases. Doesn't that include most of the people at CNN?

Eleanor Bumpers.

Eleanor Bumpers: shot by cop during eviction
by Mario Merola
On October 29, 1984, Eleanor Bumpurs, a black woman who weighed 275 pounds and walked with difficulty, was shot dead by police officer Stephen Sullivan as she was being evicted from her apartment at 1551 University Avenue.
After months of public debate about the killing, a grand jury had heard the entire story: how Bumpurs had owed a grand total of $417.10 on the 1-bedroom apartment she rented in a city housing project in the Bronx; how the city had stumbled and bumbled in its attempts to get the rent paid and avert the eviction; how the eviction process had continued to steamroller along; how the cops - the city service of last resort - had been called in to resolve the stand-off; how the situation had grown ugly; how Sullivan had then pulled the trigger not once but twice, ending the confrontation with Bumpurs's death.

"A Show of Force" doesn't require DEADLY FORCE. They over played their hand.

Oh, I love that. The officers need to be sure they had a clean shot where there are no other OFFICERS in the line of fire.

Organized crime? Shoplifting. This has been a way of making money for a long time. It has been organized for a long time as well. I suppose if you want to showcase it this time a year it's a good idea. But, it's not easy to police an entire store. Why take OTC drugs? Because they can sell individual pills when others cannot afford to buy the entire bottle. They might give it away depending who you are to the shoplifter. Poverty is the 'enemy' not the shoplifter.

No, thank you. If one is on a diet then you need to be ON A DIET. Not pretending to be on one.
