UNNEEDED SHOOTINGS
I have to agree with Richard Connolly about all the shootings by the
Escambia County Sheriff's Office. Like the shooting of a black woman who
was shot in her car awhile back by the Pensacola Police Department, who
said she was making a drug deal in a parking lot and tried to run over the
officers with her car.
Even if that was the case, they could have shot her tires out or found some
way to stop her. They didn't have to kill her.
It seems to me and the other citizens here that the deputies and police in
Escambia and Pensacola are trigger-happy. We need the citizens to elect a
new sheriff who will stop all these unneeded shootings.
