Grand Jury Investigating the NYPD Shooting of Deborah Danner- Abby Pryor 8th period

Summary:
The NYPD was involved in the deadly shooting of a mentally ill, 66 year old woman named Deborah Danner. The police were in her apartment when the shooting took place, and the Jury will be investigating it. They want to decide whether criminal charges should be brought against the police involved or not. The police arrived at her apartment due to neighbors' complaints of her screaming, and the police found her holding a pair of scissors. Sgt. Barry, an officer on the scene, claimed that she ran at him with a baseball bat.

Analysis:
I think that this situation needs a fair trial because it led to the death of an innocent elderly woman. There have been too many instances when African American people have been killed during police investigations. I hope that justice is brought to this woman.
