Some cop(s) have tackled female seasoned citizens in their own home. Violently dragged them from their vehicle. And shot them. Seasoned citizens, female and male, should be "handled" a little more defferentially than the younger pups.

Alas I fear that my request falls upon deaf ears. It is not in the nature of cops to equivocate where they perceive, rightly or wrongly, that their safety is at risk. There is a justice system.....of sorts.

No. Your voice is heard. And my morals demand I stand with you.

Some activity taking place:

A special prosecutor has been selected.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Donald Caldwell looks to have some experience prosecuting police officers:


Murder trial delayed until 2013 for ex-Franklin County deputy Agee

Looks like full effort is being put into accountability:

I hope the family of Delma Towler finds justice.

I think the police are trained to deal with a very few varieties of people (able bodied people, not sick, and of a sound mind) and they are not trained for dealing with people with disabilities or infirmities, this is very dangerous and very very bad.

Which reminds me of the cop in LA (the one in California) who stopped a deaf mute. The deaf mute reached into his pocket for his "I AM DEAF" card, so the cop shot him.

This is NOT the same cop who shot the guy in the wheelchair, recently, for waving an "attack pen" around.

Nice quote from Grigg.
