Continues to get worse.

@ColliervilleUser87832015 Yep. I’m scared to go anywhere. So sad and out of control.

Suspect is a very very lucky person to be detained alive and uninjured. There must have been an error on the part of the police to not have fought back successfully with lethal force, maybe no backup was present. Having an uninjured suspect who has critically shot an officer begs questions to be asked.
