CONTACT ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT SHOOTING

Hopefully, by the time this piece is printed, the Ayers shooting will
be satisfactorily addressed. If my intuition is correct, it won’t be.

In my opinion, the only action that will serve to speed any type of
investigation will be federal intervention.

I’ve been mystified as to why no one locally has contacted the U.S.
Attorney General and requested help to resolve this situation.

Anyone who thinks local officials are scurrying to bring closure to
this matter is indeed naive. It is my opinion that certain drug task
force leaders believe that if enough time is allowed to pass, people
will forget. People do tend to do just that.

Hopefully, the Ayers family will not permit that to happen. Anything
less than criminal charges against those responsible for Mr. Ayers
death is beyond my comprehension.

This is America. You do not shoot a man sitting in his car, in the
vicinity of civilians, in the middle of town, and in broad daylight.
Period.

The excuse of inadequate funding for a slow investigation is almost as
lame as the need of a Cadillac for a field office.

The combination of poor training and a thug mentality seems to have
needlessly created a deadly situation.

I will stress that I support, 100 percent our drug coalition and
responsible people that work to rid our society of illegal drugs. That
is an entirely different issue.

Thanks for your time.
