Re shooting of Wallace in Philly. I do see a difference


between this one and many others which rightly have been condemned and protested.

This man had a knife and was seemingly out of control. While I think it is a good case for changing the way police respond to these situations, I find it hard to condemn these police officers once they arrived on the scene., especially since Philly doesn't provide them with tasers. Where it goes the other way for me, though, is how many rounds were shot into him? Why must officers empty their entire ammo supply into even a man armed with a knife?

In any event, I do not see any reason, from what I know now, for any legal action against the cops on this one.
