FBI Investigation
* Re “FBI to Probe Fatal Reseda Police Shootings” Aug. 17.
The FBI has been called in to investigate the shooting of two robbery suspects, allegedly shot in the back by pursuing police.
This brings to mind the caveat placed on all hazardous occupations: Firefighters can be trapped in flames, policemen can die in shootouts, fighter pilots can get shot down, roofers can fall and break their necks, etc. Persons choosing these occupations know this and accept it. Otherwise they pursue other occupations. The same applies to the profession of armed robbery. . . which entails it’s own occupational hazards: You can get killed in the ensuing police pursuit.
