Police Shooting and the Woman in the Red Sweater

There was a lot of police activity at the end of the block today. I thought it was a car accident, so I didn't bother to look until I went for coffee. Later, TV camera crews and a number of police officers were still on the scene interviewing witnesses.

On the way back from the cafe, I followed a number of police officials in suits, pasty white guys like myself. They were very animated about the reporter in a red sweater. A sixty year old woman was either in surgery or dead and they -- what else -- were leering at the reporter in a red sweater.

The sweater was for TV and a police shooting. Her Capri pants gave her the look of someone who'd been out walking her dog when the call came.
