Sheeeesh … Does anyone know where that woman from Chicago whose son was “executed in cold blood by the cops” is? Perhaps she beat feet from The Windy City for a while and is now a blowhard in Colorado media …

I appreciate this attitude and hate the idea of law enforcement second guessing themselves when their lives are on the line. This goes for our fine soldiers too! Hi Angel,
