I agree, but we have NONE of the details as to why the LAPD opened fire. I cant imagine the PD just rolling up and opening fire when the suspect is alone, BIG, not an Asian female, etc. I'd be willing to bet the PD officers called in the plates to see if the truck was stolen and who the owner was. Something does not add up for them to "just open fire" . However... if it was a case of an itchy trigger finger then someone had better get some extra training and a reprimand if need be. Did I see correctly that neither woman was hurt??? If so... what a God send!
For **anyone** to condone what this POS is doing needs to take a serious look at what they are saying. Evidently, there are some supporters out there backing this guy up (word is the suspect is a "liberal" and hence the anti-right crowd standing behind him) and making excuses of the alleged "racism" he went through as a PD officer and that he was pushed over the edge. Total BS.
what excuse could there be for the shooting? obviously they didnt look at the driver or passenger. the truck didnt match the description. the "I thought they were reaching for a weapon" excuse doesnt look good either. did the newspapers been thrown out of the window look like assault weapons or ied's?
the cops panic and fired, reloaded and fired several times. they hit everything from the truck to the houses nearby. frankly I am surprised they didnt shoot each other. If anybody else would have open fire like that on a truck thinking it was dorner, they would be in jail waiting for attempted murder charges to be filed.
what excuse could there be for the other guy to be crashed into. he had just been cleared by another officer just seconds before.
I find it funny that you want them to be reprimanded for an "itchy finger". cops arent above the law but that is what you want them to be. anybody else with an "itchy finger" goes to jail and cops shouldnt be an exception. unless of course you want the excuse as sick as it is that dorner also had an "itchy finger".
