Reprinted with Permission: Confederate Yankee Analysis

Starting with the post below, I have reprinted Mike McDaniel's expert analysis of the Erik Scott shooting, as originally posted at Confederate Yankee.  Every entry to date is posted in chronological order, starting with the first post last year and running through 19 posts to the present..

There is no better way to get up to speed on this case. Mike McDaniel is an English teacher, and his writing reflects that fact.  More significantly, he's an ex-cop of the conscientious and professional sort..  His integrity shows throughout his posts.  He was clearly the kind of cop any of us would have respected.  I'm particularly taken with Mike's knowledge of proper shooting doctrine.  Such ability is far less common than we might wish in police circles, and being qualified in an actual rather than a bureaucratic sense gives real weight to his writing.

Mike tells me he's quite relieved to be out of police work, and given the state of policing in America, I certainly understand.  (Policing's loss was teaching's gain!)  I thank him for the time and thought he's put into articles, and for his unhesitating, cheerful permission to reprint his work here.
