Police gunning men down.

The next tough question I will be asking (because I ask a lot of them!) is whether or not police are too quick to draw and fire guns in situations like that which occurred this morning in St Kilda and earlier this year in the suburb that neighbours my own.

Were these deaths necessary?

Stay tuned for an explosively investigative piece by notquitelois. It will challenge convention, your personal beliefs and mine* and beg the question - are police too quick at the hip? Is there a culture within the police force that permits use of weapons in difficult situations before all other avenues are exhausted?

This isn't A Current Affairs though so there is not more sensational interest-ticklers, just a promise that I am testing my journalistic capabilities and asking hard questions for what I hope will be a solid investigative news story, so do stick around.
