80 degrees is not a heatwave...

but I'm sure people are scantily clad all across the state. It's nice out, nonetheless. Tomorrow is Imagine a Technology Blackout Day for schools across the country. I cannot participate because most of my work is computer-based. Go figure. I defienitly feel the premise of the effort though. And last week was ESTEME Week. Next year, I hope to be much more involved in both of these programs as opposed to the random bystander that I am right now.

In other news, this cat ins Providence was being questioned about a murder and apparently killed a cop, supposedly jumped out a window, and when he appeared in court for his hearing, his face was covered. Apparently, he either took a hard fall (cop's story) or he caught a serious mash out (most likely) from the boys in blue. My crew was discussing it over email. Here are a few of their thoughts....

Estaban might not make it through the week

He killed a cop for no reason, in the police station at that...
Its not like he wounded the detective, that's a dead man walking. Hay its an unfortunate incident, two lives are now lost. I bet you the bill which will be passed in RI making the death penalty legal will be called the Esteban Carpio act because he's going to jail, it's about the be the fastest trial ever. I'm not buying that Insanity Plea...

By no means am I going to justify what he did but there are certains things you must take into consideration. Isn't there suppose to be an officer watching the interrogation while its in progress from another room? How was a man in custody able to disarm a veteran detecive and shot him? There are allot of unanswered questions that need to be address! Ok, he killed a police officer and he's going to catch an beat down but wouln't you think RI police are smart enough to take shots at his body so his bruises won't be visiable when he goes before a courtroom. This man is never going to see daylight again but his family will win a police brutality suit against the stae of RI.

Excuse me if I'm mistaken but I thought the duties of police officer were to "protect and serve" not to "judge and sentence".

The man was in and out of the Pysch ward he needs psyhc help, the police didn;t know what they were doing. I am not saying the cops murder is justified. But the Police didn't handle it right. Now we have to ask ourselves when is Police brutality justified? Is it ever justified?There might more to come. Think twice before you talk back to a cop for while, you might get more then you asked for.

You guys ever think that this guy might have been defending himself .......i know it can get kind of heated in those rooms...

Police beat man...
Man grabs gun
Man shoot police man
Police men beat dude some more....
Just a thought

they were most likely beating him up and he had no other alternative than to grab a cops gun and shoot him. I thought u were not suppose to have a gun in the interragation room its more than what they are tellin if I am not mistaken he was on trial or being ? about stabbing a older woman so he wouldnt go crazy off that

Think twice about going to providence?
Heh, more like think twice before murdering a cop, or
givin jakes reason to think you murdered a cop.

I feel you Kerry I can't just accept this they held him down and beat the shit out of him it was probably 25 on 1. At least when he shot the cop it was up an up

America's past-time is not baseball, it's racism, murder and finding every little excuse to pimp you and everything you stand for. I bet you that this picture of dude doesn't end up on the 5 O'Clock news.

I was away from my desk, but they pretty much summed all of my thoughts in subsequent responses.
