    Posted By: buflyerbut what social problems/background in his family/community led to this? Can it be changed, stopped?
    The only thing surprising about that statement is that it took the better part of 7 pages to appear.

    As for the answers, the point is moot. He had the weapon, he threatened with the weapon, he did not drop the weapon when commanded. The reason I have difficulty with the social implications (why oh why?) is that he would not have been shot that day had he not brandished the friggen thing.

    Let's hold another meaningless inquiry to discover why he was carrying a weapon another day.

    Worme... An appropriate moniker for a lawyer that would say "the shooting would not have happened had an officer handcuffed Dumas before the shooting". Tell ya what Worme, the Police will promise not to practise law if you promise not to presume what is appropriate police work.

    How can the average person take anything people like Worme do seriously when that kind of crap is spewed with such frequency.

    <blockquote><cite>Posted By: grumpy old man</cite>How can the average person take anything people like Worme do seriously when that kind of crap is spewed with such frequency.</blockquote>I don't take defense lawyers seriously - their job is to explore bizarre and incredible explanations for their client's behaviour and create reasonable doubt.

    Is there any information on a government web site about this inquiry?

    The news stories don't add up.
