I heard about this and I think that because he (Possze) was holding a beebece gun at the time the police can’t tell whether it’s a beebee gun or not. FE think he (police Officer) had the right, if he’s (Possee) gonna carry around 2 beebee gun, the policeman was trying to protect people around him, marijuana or not. It’s his fault for just csrrying a beebee gun because you can’t be sure it’s the real thing. I don’t think a public inquiry is mecessary because it’s pretty straightfor- ward, No, I don't should investigate it because it’s a police business. 1 den’t think they should go into it any more. : think = they Yes, ido.
