ADRENALINE RUSH LED TO SHOOTING

Let me start my letter by saying how sorry I am for the family of Mr.
Ayers. This was something out of Miami Vice or some other T.V. show,
not something that you would think of here in Toccoa.

I heard them change their story three times. This was handled wrong to
start with.

If you can call off a high speed car chase until later why couldn’t
this have been called off until later. They had his tag number they
could have found him later.

I think they were on such a adrenaline rush they wasn’t thinking of
calling it off until later or whoever might got hurt.

When Mr. Ayers started pulling away the rush was so great by then they
didn’t think of anyone else, but started shooting at Mr. Ayers.

If they weren’t after Mr. Ayers to start with, why act like they did
with guns blazing like Miami Vice.

All they did was take the life of a good husband, and very good
pastor. Maybe next time something like this happens and I hope it
doesn’t, it will be handled better, with all the training they have
this was the best they could do, I hope not.
