Here We Go Again - Another Criminal Shot By Police In Dearborn.

I just don't want a circus like Ferguson or Baltimore. As for the 3 ton remark, maybe the person that said it does not realize a ton is 2000 pounds. You can bet though the ambulance chasing lawyers are sniffing around.

You're missing the point. It has nothing to do with whether the officer knows what a ton is. It has everything to do with being a representative of the "outside" agency tasked with providing a fair and independent investigation making a prejudicial statement to the media.

That goes both ways. To say "unarmed" would not be fair and would in fact be prejudicial as well -- given reports of the suspect trying to run over both security as well as police. I saw the interview and the State Police spokesman seemed to do a fair job of being as impartial as possible given the circumstances. Also, it's obvious to any rational person that he meant to say "pound" versus "ton". The "debate" over that part of it is just plain silly nonsense.
