The issue here is whether or not law officers had a less-lethal means to subdue a young man who was swinging a bat. that's how it started, thank you originally, my stand was that police don't make good enough use of LESS LETHAL means,,and appear too often to just take kill shots right away I would add that there is additional risk of innocent people being struck by bullets if the shots take place within an apartment building. |

That fact alone should prompt the Chicago police department to change its approach to handling confrontations. |

According to police, Antonio LeGrier, father of the deceased student called 911 to report that his son was wielding a baseball bat and banging on his bedroom door. He notified their neighbor, Jones, that the police would be arriving and that his son had a bat. A statement released by police said that the officers were “confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon, fatally wounding two individuals.” LeGrier was reportedly shot seven times. Blood was found in the vestibule of Jones’ apartment, after at least one bullet hit two of her walls. Jones’ 19 year old daughter found her with a gunshot wound to the neck. She was shot while opening her door, according to CBS News. The full details of the incident have not been disclosed by police. LeGrier was an engineering student at Northern Illinois University, but also suffered mental health issues. His mother believes the situation could have been handled without resulting in his son’s death. “He didn’t have a gun. He had a bat. One or two times would have brought him down. You call the police, you try to get help and you lose a loved one,” she told the Chicago Tribune. “What are they trained for? Just to kill? I thought that we were supposed to get service and protection. I mean, my son was an honors student. He’s here for Christmas break, and now I’ve lost him. I’m trying to be strong because I pray. But that’s my only child. And I’m hurting. I’m hurting real bad.” are tasers just a cool jewelry accessory now? wouldn't THIS be a time they could have been used? that 'kill shot only' training needs to be revised,,,,,so sad,,, And where's Odumbo wanting stricter gun laws? This is clearly a case where the criminally intended should not have guns. |

,,whatever point that makes,,,,its still a sad story Not really, it's that which is to be expected in such a progressive city as Chicago, not sad at all when that is what the people have chosen to represent them. |
