PREWITT, Acting Presiding Judge.
I respectfully dissent.
I believe that at least venireman Gammill and probably veniremen Dalton and Chandler should have been excused for cause as they indicated a fixed partiality toward testimony of police officers. Cf. State v. Williams, 643 S.W.2d 832 (Mo.App.1982). See also State v. Hyzer, 729 S.W.2d 576, 579 (Mo.App.1987). I do not believe that the trial court’s inquiries established that the veniremen could be impartial.
