This is way too sad…. New York police officer kills himself in grief over taser incident
News sources today reported on a very sad, and very unnecessary, post-script to a story I commented on in my journal entry Don’t tase me bro! Tasers make news, but (thankfully) not in Renton . Today, it was reported that the officer killed himself in his grief over his decision to use a taser on a mentally ill man who then fell from a ledge.
While the officer made an error in common sense, and the department’s new added training is a good idea, there was no reason in the world for the distraught officer to take his own life. This illustrates how conscientious New York’s officers are. But it’s terribly, terribly sad, and I wish the New York officer had received more post-incident counseling.
Citizens push to encourage Trader Joes to locate at the Landing
Renton citizens are doing their part to try to persuade Trader Joes to open at the Landing. Here is an email chain I received from a friend, which includes a link to a Traders Joes request page (sponsored by Trader Joes Company).
If you want a Treader Joes at the Landing, you may want to go to this page and register your support.
Thanks,
Randy
