That's too funny about the inspection sticker being the only thing the cop can accurately describe... but SO appropriate! Love the cops comment about not knowing if the two are from around the area or not. Ummmm.... two black men living in the Madison area and you don't think the cops would have known they were around?! Even if from nothing more than your stereotypical reactions from law enforcement...profiling, etc.. Sorry, but they WOULD have known if the two were from Madison!report abuse

Maurice,
the town of Madison has actually 4 ways to get out of town and THEN when you cross the bridge in Anson you have the option to go left or right.... that's a little bit too much for a cop whose major focus is on inspection stickers. I am sure they would consider those thugs armed and dangerous if they would have had a rubber ducky in their hand.....it makes it much more easier to justify when one of those thugs gets shot to death.report abuse

The fact that they knew of the existence of the road down at the boat landing and the proximity of the landing to the credit union tells us that they are local or have local links. How about questioning the ones that were involved last time? Usual suspects??report abuse

Usually, when it's determined that a 'gun' was a pellet-gun, police don't designate the perps as 'armed and dangerous' which gives the police authority to shoot and kill - and ask questions later in most States.report abuse
