There's nothing 'only' about knives
This note is regarding the article published in the Daily Herald on March 11, in which (the article) commented that Michael Chybicki had "only knives" when he was shot and killed by police in Rolling Meadows.
A weapon is a weapon and knives maim and kill people quite efficiently. Cops don't shoot people for the heck of it -- the officer will have to live with the fact that he took a life for the rest of his own life.
A news article is supposed to be an unbiased report of events -- we learn that in journalism 101. Keep the editorials on the editorial page.
