Its so sad that this sort of thing happens. We dont have as many guns here as you do in the US (although things are changing for the worse) and im assuming these were gun related deaths...
anyhow, lovely, crisp, iconic photograph

That was so sad watching that on the news and seeing the photos of the four men shot to death....It's a war on the people who are protecting us from the bad people out there.....I know there are some bad cops but there are many more who aren't bad...I'm glad they killed that bastard !!!
