AP Wonders: Does Reed Shooting 'Raise Questions About Use of Force'?
Ed Morrissey
Aaaaand that's as much of that crap that I'll quote. It takes seven -- seven! -- paragraphs for AP reporter Sophia Tareen to mention that Reed opened fire on police first. This was a traffic stop until Reed turned it into something else. If someone's evil or stupid enough to open fire on the police, who cares how many shots it takes to neutralize the threat he created?
