Does that include spraying over 100 rounds at a bright blue Tacoma with a 71 and 47 year old Hispanic women in it delivering newspaper when looking for a large black man in a dark grey Nissan Titan?[/quote]
Who’s defending that? FWIW, they got a nice settlement, and the police chief agreed that the officers who shot at them violated policy. Yes, the cops were on edge as they were defending the home of a captain who was specifically threatened by Dorner. Yes, they thought the sound of the newspaper hitting a driveway was a gunshot. Still, the women won a settlement without much effort…the cops knew what they did was wrong.
The culture that sprays 100+ rounds is the same culture that pummels a schizophrenic to death (also acquitted), strangle holds a cigarette seller, pepper sprays sitting occupy wall street protestors, and so on…[/quote]
Do you have ANY experience that would be somewhat similar to what cops have to do on a daily basis? I think people like to talk a lot about things they do not understand.
You need to walk a mile (or even an inch) in their shoes. Go on a ride-along with cops in an urban environment, then come back to talk to us about how easy the job is.
