Note: In our hope for justice, we at onthewilderside feel that it is important to cover criminal justice incidents which result in significant harm or death for people dealing with law enforcement. It is unfortunate that there have been three such incidents in our area in the last week. Though, we feel each one of them is deserving of community attention.
