I suppose this was mental illness, too.

DETROIT (click title to entry - thank you) -- A gunman opened fire inside a Detroit police precinct on Sunday, wounding four officers including a commander before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said.
The gunman walked in through the precinct's revolving door around 4:20 p.m. with a pistol grip shotgun and opened fire, Sgt. Todd Eby, who was sitting at his desk in the precinct at the time of the shooting, told the Detroit Free Press. He said officers shot back at the gunman, killing him.
"Utter chaos and pandemonium took place," Police Chief Ralph Godbee said at a news conference. "We have a number of officers who are shaken up."
Godbee said the gunman has been identified but it was "too early to characterize" him while the investigation was ongoing....


Michigan just got a draconian Republican governor that basically deceived his way into the Governor's seat.  If 'cut backs' are what he has in mind, he needs to think again.

The Police Station is supposed to be the safest place in the entire city for officers.  Bullet proof glass, yet, this occurred.  So, now we are cop killers and not just assassins, huh?  In multiples.  This was the sort of thing we used to hear about from Iraq.  The police have every right to be rattled by this incident.  I guess the gunman is dead, huh?  I am sure he didn't expect to walk out, although in this day and age any belief about reality seems to be possible considering the 'tolerated lies' of the Right Wing Media.

Last night I sent the hours I sometimes enter on my blog on Saturday night flipping through the channels.  I am not a big fantasy person.  I watch documentaries and ‘live’ television, but, not really entertainment.  Entertainment has its place, but, in a way it is also fantasy.  It is an escape really. 

At any rate, last night as I reviewed the stations I receive from through cable, the violence was incredible.  Bloody.  Graphic.  There was a video (And I am not picking on any music video station in particular except for what was actually there.) on BET that remarkably reminded me of news reports from car bombings in foreign countries.  And I understand MTV is being reviewed for child pornography?  Like, what?
