Officer Avoided Taser In Arboretum Killing

Shame on US!

That we should or could put the life and future of an Officer of the Law in jeopardy and hold them there for days if not weeks, simply for doing the job we asked of them and that protecting our life and the lives of our loved ones.

Imagine yourself in their situation and waiting for a Grand Jury to decide your fate and all the while the citizens you protect are questioning your motivations and actions and keep you living in limbo under the ultimate threat of imprisonment.

The citizens of Portland owe this man an apology and a Big Thank You for he must live with taking another persons life to the end of his own. That is not a burden good people bear easily.

Yes we should keep a watchful eye on the actions of our Police but if any deserve the benefit of doubt it should be them. Yet we afford that benefit to some sleaze ball politician that won't answer a direct question with a direct answer and will sell your children's future for a vote today.

If any deserve Grand Jury investigations we should start with those in our Capitol Buildings, both State and Federal.
