Grand jury fails to indict officer for Beavercreek Walmart shooting. This shows that not only can prosecutors get grand juries to indict ham sandwiches, they can also get them to not indict when they want.

"" ... Based on the information the responding officers had and Mr. Crawford's failure to comply with the responding officers orders, the officers did what they were trained to do to protect the public," Beavercreek police said in a statement."

I was just following orders... I mean training is not a legitimate defense, and it's very scary that they train police to kill people carrying toy guns.

""I believe the grand jury's decision, it's absolutely the right decision, that the officers acted well within their training," Popp said."

Training again. Imagine if you had shot that guy. The law doesn't apply to rulers or their enforcers. It has nothing to do with race.

"This is the second time Williams has fatally shot someone while working for Beavercreek police. In 2010, Williams was found to be justified in the shooting and killing of ex-Air Force Master Sgt. Scott A. Brogli. Officials said Brogli, armed with a knife, charged at Williams and another officer when the officers responded to Brogli's apartment on a domestic incident call. Williams fired one round, hitting Brogli in the chest. He later died at Miami Valley Hospital."

Maybe they shouldn't have invaded his home.

Apparently the police killed the other woman in Walmart that night because all was calm until they incited a panic.

Franklin warns voters must pass tax increase to save money.

"Here’s a twist: Voters in Franklin need to pass a school levy to avoid a tax increase.
Franklin City Schools will be asking voters in the district to renew a five-year emergency operating levy in the Feb. 3 special election.
The Board of Education on Monday approved the first of two resolutions to place the renewal on the ballot. If passed, it would continue to generate nearly $4.07 million a year to continue current operations and would not cost taxpayers one extra cent.
But if voters reject the renewal, the owner of a $100,000 home could wind up paying an additional $88.14 a year because of a change in state law that would eliminate a 12.5 percent tax roll back and owner-occupied homestead credits on levies passed before August 2013. Levies that were in existence prior to August 2013 maintain those exemptions for taxpayers so long as they are renewed or converted, said Jana Bellamy, the district’s treasurer."

That's a slick robbery.
