Dear Editor,
I know this topic has been at the forefront a million times, but I have yet another viewpoint. I recently moved here from Lafayette, where the Purdue police are also armed. On more than one occasion, at the end of the women's basketball season, there were citywide riots. These riots were comparable to what we'd expect to see if the Colts were to win the Super Bowl. Cars, including a campus police car, were overturned, bonfires were set and dumpsters (at least one with a Coke machine inside) were set on fire and rolled across town and the pedestrian bridge. Yet the most lethal weapon used on the students was tear gas. If a student were to be shot during any of these riots, no one would have said much. All would have agreed it was necessary. Yet lethal force was never used. Yet a drunk man stumbles into the wrong yard and knocks on the wrong door, and we are supposed to be OK with the fact that he was shot four times. What's wrong with this picture?
