| [CLEVELAND] Cleveland was founded in 1796. They're just getting around to defining it? |

| #4 ...Growing up in Cleveland and northern Ohio, I was taught two things about the CPD: first, they will unhesitatingly lay down their lives for you. Second, do not ever, ever, EVER make the mistake of pi$$ing them off, because they will make you regret it regardless of your race, creed, color, sex, or national origin. Mike |

| #3 Number of people killed with guns in a year. Number of people killed with cars in a year. Do you really have to guess which one is more deadly? If you're going to kill someone, use the car, you'll get a lighter sentence of vehicular homicide. If you're in my state, slosh some alcohol around while you're at it and get an even lighter sentence. A person walking down a street twirling a gun in his hand will certainly induce panic. A person driving down a street functionally distracted doesn't get the same response. |

| #2 IMO, car is a deadly weapon. p.s. Could it be that Texas Rangers were better shoots? |

| #1 I am normally in preference to giving the police the benefit of the doubt until all the cards are played but I do have a problem with this case. Over 135 shots were fired at an unarmed couple and Brelo stood on the hood of the automobile after they were stops and shot over 40 rounds through the windshield. Methinks that is a bit of overkill and whether it was a high speed chase or a robbery gone bad, if the couple was unarmed, there should have been NO zippo, nada, nein, nyet, NONE, zero reason to shoot more rounds at them than the Texas Rangers shot at Bonnie and Clyde. |
