I try to watch at least part of this show every day. However, I am writing today about a news report that happened in Florida that I would dearly love to see investigated. A man smoking a cigar, gets pulled over by a police officer for tinted windows that were supposedly too dark. The officer walks up to the car, with his body cam on, reporting the incident. When the officer walks up to the open window of the car, the officer states that he smells marijuana. At this point, the officer reaches for his weapon. The man in the car starts trying to drive away, but the police officer is hanging onto the open window, trying very hard to get his gun out of the holster. After a few yards, the man stops the car, I am assuming to let the officer release the car safely, and this gives the officer enough time to get his gun into the open window of the car. The man sees this, and starts to drive away again. In the next few seconds, the officer shoots the man in the leg and let's go of the car. The man in the car drives away, and the officer tumbles to the ground. After a man-hunt for the driver, the driver is apprehended and arrested. He is to be charged with attempted murder. In my opinion, and what I would love to see investigated, is at what point, was pulling out a weapon appropriate in this situation? How is it acceptable to point a gun at someone driving a car with windows that could possibly be too dark? Even if he had been smoking marijuana, was pulling out his weapon warranted? If I don't hear from the Today Show regarding this matter, I'll contact another news agency. One final note, the man was black, so does this make a difference? Laura Greenway Tomahawk, Wisconsin
