Article about LEO and “Use of Force” (opens new window) A former Unisys colleague Paul Martig shared the above article on FB, and below are my subsequent thoughts upon reading that article: Interesting and very well written newspaper article about the “use of force” by the LaCrosse PD, and it gives reasons why all “use […]
