					<description><![CDATA[Police had cornered a murder suspect. There were negotiations and there was exchange of gunfire. Normally this stand off would have been maintained as long as possible. The way these things end, usually, is that the suspect gives up, the suspect kills themselves, there is what the police would call a &#8220;fair&#8221; exchange of gunfire* &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2016/07/09/police-unnecessarily-kill-a-third-black-man-this-week-threaten-to-kill-more/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Police unnecessarily kill a third black man this week, threaten to kill more</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
