Keystone Cops

Keystone cops Time square, New York everything happens here a man wanted to kill the one who had him fired, and did… great consternation. New York finest came opened up fire against the killer who wasn´t shooting at them and wasn´t asked to drop his weapon. In the busy square the blue dressed defender opened up fire… rightly perhaps… but the result was one dead killer and nine wounded bystander. Mayor Bloomberg came on the spot. He looked furious, as he might, a blunder, but for luck, may easily ended with people killed by the police. One can only assume that police shooting wildly about acted without assessing the happening, in cases like this a gun is not enough.

Dear Jan, I don't know about this. The guy had a gun, had just killed a man on the street and was pointing it at the cops. Who knows who else he would have turned on. What do you mean by "a gun is not enough?" love, Kathy
