That has to be the most crass comment on this subject yet.

Police are evil. End of story.

Full cooperative discussions.

I didn’t hear that. Where did you see the quote?

As custom in law enforcement agencies in America, an officer involved in any shooting is placed on administrative leave until the investigation is completed to judicial disposition. He hasn’t been suspended with pay. As a follow up, he has since been arrested on allegations of sexual abuse unrelated to the current investigation. The family of Mr. Hanlon has been quoted in the media that they are in full cooperative discussions with the officials involved in their sons’ death and both parties have agreed to not disclose the results of those discussions. So, unless you’re a family member with priviledged information or a member of the investigative team involving Mr. Hanlon, I would refrain from conjecture and conspiracy theories.

Bock – If I use my PC at home I get the USA flag, but I work for a Swiss company that use a French ISP.

Don’t mention the flag, Bock. Look at me with a Union Jack. It’s not Grandad’s fault, unless of course I have been asleep since 1916.

If the Silverton police told me to calm down, I’d certainly do what they advised.

Who wouldn’t?

PS Why does a South Carolina commenter have a French flag?

Grandad? Tech stuff?

From the same article,

“On the occasion of one such incident, according to Jessica, the police told Andrew to calm down. “I don’t know the exact circumstances but I do know he had an interaction with the police.”

“I know he didn’t get arrested but the police came and calmed it down.”

As I have said in all of my posts, I would prefer to wait until the investigation is complete before making any judgments. I don’t know if the officer is innocent or guilty. When I know more, I may very join you in condemning his actions , but I won’t until then. I realize that this makes me part of a small minority in the comments of this blog.

I live far from Oregon, in South Carolina. In this area in the last three years there have been three police officers shot and killed while on duty. Its a job I know I would not want to do.

I wish Andrew were still alive, I also wish these three officers were.

We are a country blinded by self-love. It will probably get much worse before it ever begins to get better.
