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. Buddy Newman, Pensacola - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
