What would happen in America if two cops held a man down on the ground while the third cop shot him 8 times? They'd be clered for "acting in good faith." Report in the paper yesterday the police somewhere in the US fired 120 shots at an unarmed driver trying to get away. Mike M.J.Powell That was slightly over a month ago, the city was Compton located in Los Angeles County, California. The agency was Los Angeles Sheriff Department. The initial response to this by the Sheriff Department was that the deputies failed to coordinate their response with each other, failed to follow training/accepted practices for such a situation and in general blew it. FWIW, several Southern California law enforcement agencies are struggling with how to respond to threats from suspects in vehicles; 1) it is difficult at best to determine if they are armed and 2) the vehicle itself constitutes a weapon. So, somebody who is driving a 3000# 'weapon' and also has a firearm and is in a 'mighty ****ed off' state of mind does become a real threat to public safety. Sometimes law enforcement does truly blow it, try to remember that for every largely publicized error there are hundreds of traffic stops, warrants served and arrests made that happen without incident. |
