"We are so sad to report the tragic shooting of Justine Damond," the community's post said. "Justine was one of the most loving people you would ever meet. We can't even imagine LHSC without her." Neighbours and friends are demanding answers as to why the popular woman was shot by police. Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges wants to know why the officers' body cameras were off. "I am heartsick and deeply disturbed by what happened," she posted on Facebook. "I have been working on behalf of all of you all night and all day and I will continue to do so. "I share your questions and concerns and continue to seek answers." The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said two Minneapolis police officers responded to a 911 call of a possible assault just north of the 5100 block of Washburn Avenue South. "At one point an officer fired their weapon, fatally striking a woman," it said in a statement. "The officers' body cameras were not turned on at the time and the squad camera did not capture the incident. "Investigators are attempting to determine whether any video of the incident exists." Neighbours are now demanding answers, leaving a sign out asking police "why did you shoot and kill our neighbor and friend?"

just another death in a gun mad society, I hope those "police" officers get everything that is coming to them. What is it like to live in a society where you can't trust the police to ask questions and shoot later if necessasry
Let's not get carried away,here. Yeah,there ARE too many police shootings of innocent and unarmed citizens,but there are 10's of thousands of police/citizen events every day that end with no violence on anyone's part. The biggest area where the police fail is the SOB's tend to ALWAYS cover for another cop,no matter what he or she does. A cop could set fire to a nursery,and the other cops would try to make excuses for him. Some thing are just inexcusable,and the people responsible for doing them needs to be punished to the fullest extent possible,regardless of who they are. In the long run,this "cop covering for cop" thing ends up hurting them a lot more than it does protecting them.

Nope. Those words are not using it as a prefix. There is no "sensus", "gregate", or "vene" (yes, there is a genial). Con has several meanings. The one I was using is the opposite of "pro". con 1 (kOn) adv. In opposition or disagreement; against: debated the issue pro and con. n. 1. An argument or opinion against something. 2. One who holds an opposing opinion or view.
