"When a half-dozen men and a woman in street clothes closed in on University of Virginia student Elizabeth Daly, 20, she and two roommates panicked."
Like other confrontations between police and citizens published in the media ... until all of the facts get laid out along with any video it is probably a good thing not to get to judgmental about who was right or wrong ... when 7 officers are present at a convenience store to "observe" a "coed" or three leaving there are other things happening or a history ... and while I agree that there are plenty of reasons today why three young ladies ought to be careful about "stopping" for an unidentified "gang" of people ... there is a "large" question of why those same 3 ladies, who in fear for their welfare, would start up their vehicle and leave a public place where they could just as easily retreat back into the store with their "water" while calling 911 ... driving into any one is not a good option when there are others.
