I think it's important to understand that the officer involved was responding to a call of "shots fired, officer down," which is one of the most terrifying situations that a police officer can experience. I am sure that the response that was underway was justified and that the ensuing investigation will report the same. In this type of situation I believe all units are authorized to respond to the scene. It was a terrible incident that took place this week. The death of the motorcyclist, and injury to his passenger, was a tragic event. I don't believe that it was due to any negligence on the part of the police. -Erik On Sat, May 11, 2013 at 5:09 PM, Brian Wood <woodbrian77 at gmail.com> wrote: > I'm dismayed by the accidental killing of a motorcyclist by the > Minneapolis Police yesterday when they were responding to > an emergency situation.
