All this talk about gun control completely ignores the issue of our nation’s excessively armed police and the problem of cops going around shooting people.
When are we going to have a talk about disarming the cops, too? When are we going to have that long-needed talk about checking our cops’ mental health? When? How many innocent people must be killed by psycho cops before we do something about this?
A veteran Las Vegas cop apparently shot his ex-policewoman wife and their 5-year-old son in the head before he turned the gun on himself.
The Clark County Coroner's Office said Kathryn Michelle Walters, 46; and Maximilian Walters, 5; each died of a gunshot wound to the head in their Boulder City, Nev., home on Monday.
As police surrounded the home, Hans Walters, 52, an off-duty lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, set fire to the house and then fatally shot himself, according to accounts from the coroner and the Henderson Police Department, which is leading the investigation.
Investigators are combing through Walters' background looking for clues as to what made the 20-year veteran of the police force snap.
