That's the Boston Police official line, which may prove to have a high CYA content after all the holes are counted and the post-mortem gets released.  But as long as someone is armed and still actively resisting, there really isn't such a thing as 'Too much force' or 'Too many bullets.'

Right on! As long as they're moving and still holding a weapon, keep shooting.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Not enough was used.
One survived.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Agree, and to the woman who calls herself a "professor" when in reality, she shouldn't be professing anything at all: I'd be lying if I didn't have a little bit of satisfaction within myself when looking at that photo.

Larry Elder (L. A. radio host) had a professor on yesterday that sounded like she could be a member of the DUmp.  My head was spinning and so was Larry's.
