Flight 924 ShootingAm I the only one who thinks that the shooting of Rigoberto Alpizar, the mentally ill passenger who ran off the airplane in Miami yesterday and was promptly shot dead by federal air marshals, was likely unjustified?
The Alpizar shooting sort of reminds me of the killing of Gideon Busch, a mentally ill man who in 1999 was shot at least 12 times by numerous NYPD cops because he has holding a hammer. A law school classmate of mine witnessed the Busch shooting and insisted (and testified) that it was unwarranted and unjustified.
