Who's first to blame the police?
Who's first with blaming the police for wrongdoing on this one? They fired first. Overly aggressive. Too many police responded. Where are the conspiracy theorists? This is what happens in the police state. The poor are killed by police because they are poor, etc. Phil?

RE: Who's first to blame the police?
I disagree. Anyone who brandishes a gun at the police, ESPECIALLY after recent events, is asking for a bullet. How stupid can you be?
