Thanks! :)<br /><br />I was not advocating sympathy for Dickie Louis so much as I was condemning the "rah rah kill him" comments in TGI. As I noted, it's traumatic — for the cops, the neighbors, the family — when someone is killed this way. <br /><br />So yes, I also feel sorry for the cop who did the shooting. And while I understand that cops sometimes feel justified in the need to use deadly force, IMO, it is never something that the public should cheerlead.<br /><br />As for empathy/sympathy for Dickie Louis, well, I don't know him personally, but I feel for any person who is so filled with pain and despair that he'd put himself in a position to be shot down by the cops. And I know he has family, and so I feel for them.Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.com
