Three very important phrases from my New York Times article are. "He saw the killing as a wildly overzealous reaction." tactical assault groups. Peace Officer. I would define this first phase as a reaction from a man who's son in law was just kill and he believes that his death shouldn't have occurred. The second phrase has to do with a group of trained individuals that go into dangerous situations to accomplish a goal of some kind. The phrase Peace Officer is talking about a police officer or some individual who works to keep peace and stop anarchy.
