The latest officer-involved shooting was a 16-year-old girl with a knife. Surely the Anchorage police have filled their quota by now.
The city should take away their guns and issue them bear spray and nightsticks, except for one officer who can have a shotgun with beanbag rounds.
How cowardly do you have to be to use lethal force on a 16-year-old girl?
