The re-opening of the case of justifiable homicide from last year is a double-edged sword. If there is a cover-up (I am not saying that there is, just saying that is one possibility), then it would reveal that. If (as you allege) the police have had a history of non-action in the neighborhood when there is clearly a crackhouse (or something like it) in the area, then the re-opening of the case would (hopefully) reveal that.Matt Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729005879354847365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231025971179579698.post-71807185734682038522007-09-18T12:23:00.000-04:002007-09-18T12:23:00.000-04:00Hey kane, me again.Since I guess I am the commente...Hey kane, me again.<BR/>Since I guess I am the commenter who has knowledge of this case, I would like to clarify something. The incompetence of the Hempstead Police I spoke of came in the incidences *prior to* the shooting. Off the top of my head there were a total of 4 car break-ins in approximately a year and a half span. 3 of them on Mr. Walters vehicle. The "drug using" perp was witnessed running into a house after one of the break-ins. Even with that, the police were not able to apprehend him. Had the police been able to get him off the street, I think it is fair to say that the shooting would never have occurred. I don't think they bungled the actual shooting incident. I think they finally did something right on that spring day in 2006. <BR/><BR/>It still kind of bothers me that you are asking that the case be re-opened. Why? Why not use your energy to get to the root of the problem - the house around the corner from Mr. Walters, where all the drug deals go down and cops seem to show up often but never do anything. The place where the crack head walks to, with one eye on the shiny car in Mr. Walters driveway.<BR/><BR/>Somebody in the Newsday forum posted this information: <BR/><BR/>...on Law Enforcement- If the State of New York deems you fit to carry a handgun AND you're Law Enforcement if someone is committing a crime AND THREATENS your life or others with deadly force "such as firing a gun at you or others" you may cease that action by using DEADLY FORCE. Obviously the perp that fired at him shot first, thus causing the OFFICER to return fire "one of them was to the head"...<BR/><BR/>I can't recite the law, but If this is true then what is your beef? <BR/><BR/>Since the other posts were deleted I will reiterate this...it doesn't make sense that a man who makes over 100K needs to rob a woman who has to ride the bus...I would guess she couldn't be carrying enough cash to be worth the effort. And, I don't think anyone is stupid enough to show up, face uncovered in an easily identifiable car and try and rob someone with a gun. There has to be more to this story, and I think we are limited by what we can glean from a police report/newspaper article. Police document the facts of an incident, hopefully without judgment. The newspapers report based on the police report, hopefully without judgment. In a perfect world, we the people would wait until the case actually goes before a judge and jury before we draw our own conclusions.Blogherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957199052179541264noreply@blogger.com
