A disturbing trend
Sound familiar?
This, from this morning's Charlotte Observer:
"A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer shot and killed a man on a quiet residential street a mile north of uptown Tuesday, the third time in seven months a suspect has died during a confrontation with CMPD."
You have to wonder about a trend here and whether the increasingly dangerous nature of policing -- contributes to these types of incidents.
Charlotte lost two policemen in a shooting incident last year.

If I read this right, the person shot, had a gun. Not knowing the details, I can not make a judgement on this. The disturbing trend I see, when a police person get shot, there is a different way of reporting it than when someone else get shot. When the police officer was killed in Philly, it never made national news, until the police roughed up a few men.
