Despite two major crimes this year, such incidents have been uncommon in the Lake area, which draws large crowds of tourists every summer.

I avoid the place just like Columbia. Too many shootings and other crime, as well as expensive.

Columbia alone is more violent than the lake area.

Chicago. Los Angeles. San Francisco. New York. St. Louis. Not the Lake of the Ozarks. One shooting is no where near enough to scare me. How many in ChiTown this weekend? Those other cities? Or monthly?

The Officer was in the wrong and is being punished, and justice is being served. "A Kentucky grand jury brought no charges against Louisville police for the killing of Breonna Taylor during a drug raid gone wrong, with prosecutors saying Wednesday that two officers who fired their weapons at the Black woman were justified in using force to protect themselves after they faced gunfire." - AP News (https://apnews.com/28a283922de8784f6fca5c42fe8e5bca) Show Less

The ruling was not fair and a heavier sentence is needed for the other officers involved. 'Ben Crump, a lawyer for Taylor’s family, denounced the decision as “outrageous and offensive,” and protesters shouting, “No justice, no peace!” marched through the streets.' - AP News (https://apnews.com/28a283922de8784f6fca5c42fe8e5bca) Show Less

A young woman lost her life for no reason. And the cops responsible aren’t indicted for it? At least a negligent homicide charge is justified. Unless you’re a racist, this should disturb everyone.
