In the wake of this week’s shooting, Greeley Police Chief Jerry Garner, has announced that the local officers will be carrying Tasers. I have no idea if this announcement is linked to the shooting, or just a coincidence.

What I am interested in are comments about use of lethal force by Greeley Pollice officers. It seems that there have been several shootings in the last year or so, but I don’t have hard numbers to back that up right now. Is excessive force being used? How should shootings be investigated?

If anyone has comments I would be very interested to hear them.
