I respect law enforcement and Chief Mills they face difficult decisions protecting the general public and that takes courage. <br /><br />Although when a senseless shooting happens due to an officer's inability to rely on his training. The leaders of our district must have the courage to do what is morally right. <br />consequently or unconsequently the Eureka police department have done their very best not to speak on the issue. The truth is compiled with facts. Not suspicion, assumptions or personal beliefs<br />But the EPD has presented themselves in the best possible light. They have shown little concern to the victim's family or to the people of Humboldt County When accepting responsibility takes courage, there are no easy answers. But it's necessary to exhibit personal accountability <br />To keep or to gain back the trust of this community <br /><br /> also it's just straight crazy to allow the law enforcement agency of Humbolt to call the shots in an investigation of their own officers senselessly shooting civilians. Tommy was a victim now his family is being victimized <br />And the people of humbolt county are concerned for there safety and the safety of there children . <br />Sometimes standing against the wrong doing of law enforcement is more important than defeating it. <br /> We need someone that stands for justice to take a personal interest in this matter. And protect the people and do what is right.

Driving a mark...So, why isn't Linfoot in jail?<br /><br />Driving a marked police car by my home when I'm outside only causes me to look at them. The newspaper reports he was told to get on the ground. Kind of hard to do with your hands in the air.

B...The confrontation was set up by officer Stevens. Both Stevens and Linfoot on their own instigated the occurrence That led up to the death of Tommy MCclain And with out any reasonable suspicion of illegal activity. <br />When officer Stevens chose to confront Tommy in the front yard" BY HIMSELF" while sending officer Linfoot to drive by slowly. that tactic was not used because the police wanted Tommy to retreat inside it was to force him to run. Everybody knows that. <br />Because At that time Officer linfoot had already stationed himself in the alley behind the house. <br />Tommy did not threaten anybody he did not commit any crime nobody's life was in danger. The police are hired to maintain order, not to take possession of the streets. PLEASE. There is no justified reason for Tommy MCclain to be shot and killed like a common criminal. He was loved and now mist by so many. It was a bad decision on his part when he chose to bring a broken unloaded BB gun out side but in no way did he show it/grab/reach for when confronted by officers <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
