    • I like to see what the investigation brings. Since the suspect has died, there won't be any further investigation into what he allegedly did, at least not the kind of serious criminal investigation that would have been done had he survived. The officers who shot him will be investigated: that's all.

    • Well maybe the Palestinians shouldn’t have elected a terrorist organization. 85% of Palestinians support the Oct 7 attacks. Hamas builds bases near school, hospitals and civilian houses. The only ones to blame for Palestinian deaths are Hamas. If Hamas put down their guns, the violence would end
