well from hearing everything i think that there is some coverig up. its the witness against the park police! and from being a resident of the neighborhood and knowing tre personally, the Park police is in serious trouble. For one the witness around there dont speak to police nor the news reporters at all on anything unless its the truth. When someones in tha act of wrong they dont speak on the issue but they take stand for whats right. That i do know. so when the witness said that he never shot at the police, it had to be the truth.I know from kowing tre myself that he was around there to be with his friends asnd to hang out.he was young. bottom line subject its what people do whether some agree or disagree. the neighborhood isnt the type where may do that but hey!and he had a gun.go on a search through the whole neighborhood and find out who does and who dont! you will see 100 year old granny with 2 and maybe one for a backup =]

Who is the Partnership for civil justice? And why are they so confused about the Safe Streets Task Force? This task force, which according to the Partnership, is "shrouded in darkness", has been around since 1992 and is located in 130 cities across the country. Doesn't sound like a big secret to me.

Cherkis,

You are an idiot. Your facts are completely inaccurate and you should remove the article all together.

I didn't kill the blog post because I simply re-wrote the thing and added some stuff and took out the police department's press release. The mistake I made was dumb as hell but fixable. Again, I apologize for confusing the two shootings.

again, I wonder -- why not just axe the story entirely? your correction is basically meaningless. seems to have happened more than once with this blog.

Before any blame is set wait until all the evidence is in. We have a trendency for jumping to conclusion If the officers we wrong then they should be prosecuted. As for the children they may be other reason why they were outside again don't jump to conclusions, find out who did it instead of balming the parents.
