Kentucky Police Shooting Video Raises Questions on Tactics

Associated Press

   LOUISVILLE, KY. - The shooting of a popular Kentucky barbecue cook by
   law enforcement has raised new questions about use of force practices
   after police released videos of the clash this week.

   Louisville Metro Police and National Guard soldiers have said they were
   in the area responding to a reports of a crowd gathering near David
   McAtee's eatery early Monday morning, miles away from downtown
   protests. Police said McAtee fired at officers, who returned fire, but
   video evidence suggests law enforcement officials were firing pepper
   balls at the restaurant before McAtee fired his weapon.
