Hardly the strangest nor most distrubing story I've read in the past year.
Keeps things interesting that at any moment life can vecome an HBO series of one sort or another.
Besides, waste not, want nor, right?

Well, what is the most disturbing thing you've heard of since pseudo-zombie-cannibalism in a metropolitan city seems pretty low on your richter scale

Well, there's daily stuff like this. Cop sees a guy with a baseball bat at night, feels threatened....
And shoots the guy four times.
In the back.
No taser or pepper spray, just....
Really, I'll take my chances with the occasional cannibal over cops that shoot first and let the department cover it up after.
quote:“It is very unlikely for my son to threaten an officer,” his mother said.
“But let’s say for some reason the officer felt threatened. Why shoot him four times?”
The number of rounds wasn’t the only detail of the shooting that has kept the Gregory family on edge.
“Officers carry a Taser, mace and a baton,” Juan Gregory said. “Out of all of those, why a gun?” Also, why shoot someone if they are already on the floor?”
“He was shot in the back,” she said. “That’s cowardice. A backstab.”
Anywhere else, this bozo would be in prison- when running for office he repeatedly lied to reporters about what he does for a living and how he can afford his posh home- he's got no verifiable source of income at all.
