The mentally ill and the elderly. When are we going to stop killing them? Tranquilizers or something? What do you think?

We are suppose to protect the innocent. They are innocent. By the sheer fact they are vulnerable to the world the majority has created, they are innocent. I would think there should be better police work rather than acceptance of violence against those unable to discern their best interests.

The elderly are frightened. This should not be happening. She was not committing a crime. She isn't a 'bad' person. We have to do better. It was important Pearlie was alive.

HEARNE, Texas (AP) — Friends say 93-year-old Pearlie Golden (click here) still shopped at the grocery store in the small Texas town of Hearne. Now they and Hearne's mayor want the police officer who shot and killed her gone.
Texas Rangers are investigating what led to a Hearne police officer fatally shooting Golden at her home after responding to a 911 disturbance call this week. Hearne police have said in a statement that Golden "brandished a gun" when Officer Stephen Stem arrived Tuesday night.
Prosecutors say a preliminary autopsy shows Golden was struck twice in her body and grazed once.
Dozens of protesters Thursday marched to police headquarters in Hearn. Mayor Ruben Gomez greeted them and said he will recommend that the officer be fired at a city council meeting Saturday.
