Oliver Laughland and Zoe Sullivan in Madison, Wisconsin
Tony Terrell Robinson (click here) was born into poverty and spent the last moments of his life bleeding from a gunshot wound, surrounded by no one but local police officers on the porch of his shared apartment....
Do authorities realize the public does not understand police work. Nor are they living in anticipation of a police presence. Most Americans live their lives without the thought they will soon be involved with police officers called with guns drawn.
Have we become a police state in this country? Should all people simply be mindful of the police all the time to insure their safety? I want an answer, but, so far there aren't any. I sincerely think a prosecution needs to go forward for these killings. It is incomprehensible police are slapped on the wrist when they kill an unarmed individual.
The media can put all kinds of visuals regarding in support of good police work but this is not good police work. To simply apologize to the community once a member is dead is too late.
