I enjoy Crash Course's take on Cook:

Leaves one thinking all the versions of what happened are just that, versions.

The writing of the word versions has me thinking? With both of these police shootings happening in very public places, McDonald's and Walmart. I can only imagine how many different versions there are of what really transpired during these two recently sad fatal endings?.

I unfortunately heard one of those versions the other night from what had happened or transpired at the McDonald's parking lot. His version was very disturbing to say the least. The story or version left me with many questions and concern's to not only what happened but also what happened after. It Also left me wondering why we(islanders)have to have endings like these in such public places? Hard for many of these down and out wanted armed fugitives on our island to just leave the island,jmo. If they did, wouldn't that be a good riddance in a different way? Wouldn't they still have a chance to turn themselves in, or be tracked from where they left the island?
Just thinking that having better technologies, tracking, surveillance, added camera's, tips, or police following techniques should help or try avoiding such public places for possible confrontational outcomes,jmo. This person I spoke with IS very traumatized from what he saw or had to experience for a couple hours during and after the one sided shootout at McDonald's.

P.S. Anyone here happen to know or had heard any updates to how the young female passenger shot multiple times in the incident was recovering over on Oahu?.

Compared to other places with a population of about 190,000+/- the Big Island has far less of this kind of violence than the mainland. The 2 guys the cops shot were not from other places, why would they ever leave here as long as they keep getting away with murder? I hope you aren't suggesting we should be exporting our home grown bad guys to other communities.

The "young female passenger" was recently charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive (or something similar) for helping the fugitive who was shot.
