A few months ago, Huntington Beach police killed a young woman who threatened them with a knife. Police pumped 15 rounds into the woman's body either before she died, while she was dying or after she died. The district attorney's office investigated that killing too. The results of the investigation have not been made public.
Is this a pattern? Are police killings becoming more frequent with less justification? Should police firearms be restricted more than presently? Perhaps only SWAT teams should be allowed to carry firearms, not ordinary police officers. At the least, results of investigations of police shootings should be released to the public.
