The question in the article was "why did they fire 120 times"??? The real investgation should be "why are LA cops such suck ass shots?" They only hit the guy 4 times. 3.33%!!! |

Um, ****ing DUH? the cops got a shots fired call and when they attempted to pull over a vehicle fitting the description of the perp's vehicle the driver ran for it. Good for the cops I say, although some remedial target practice might be in order. Does this REALLY require an investigation? Run from the cops, get shot. Not rocket science. nate |

No, the real question should be "why aren't all those asshole cops in jail?" They must think they're ATF agents. Public complaint bureaus aren't enough. Ordinary people need the right to prosecute this sort of thing. I wonder how many bystanders had their property shot up as a result of these bozos. |

If they're obviously fleeing (and in this case it sounds like they were, not just "driving to a safe location) why the hell not? My only question is why it took so many rounds to stop them. Geez, why don't we take away the officers' guns and just issue them bullhorns so they can politely ask drivers to pull over. Given that the cops thought they were responding to a "shots fired" call I don't have any problem at all with what they did, other than their **** poor aim. nate -- replace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel |
