Wow how lame can they get.

Every pickup truck has a big @ss manufacturer logo on the tailgate.

It’s not like trying to discern a Camry from an Accord from a Malibu.

Charlie,I don’t give a damn how much”tension” your officers are under.If they can’t handle the basics,like identifying your target before firing-then they are a hazard to the public just like the crips or bloods.

Unbelievable.

And they did the same behavior with the obviously not grey Tacoma.
Wonder how many of them were there and how brave they felt.

I would say the officers involved need more range time, but then again if they were better shots the two women would be in the morgue instead of the hospital.

Police Shoot Innocents; The Media Doesn’t Seem To Care Much

Let's not forget that cops are an extension of the government and their lives are more important that the lives of the average citizen...

It’d be better if the LAPD had to pay out of pocket for it instead of who gets the shaft for the LAPD screwups.
But, for now, such is life.

Well, the officers went home safe at the end of the shift, and that’s all that counts.

How many bullets hit the building shown in the background?

One of the things that police are supposed to be trained on is to consider the background behind the target before pulling the trigger.

Grossly Negligent: NYPD Sued for Shooting Innocent Bystanders

By Katie Pavlich
1/22/2013

As the gun control debate rages on with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg leading the way, a woman in North Carolina is suing the New York City Police Department after they shot her and nine other people two months ago while trying to take out a single person near the Empire State Building.

LAPD manhunt: Officers who shot at bystanders placed on leave; women recovering

Brian Watt with Erika Aguilar | February 8th, 2013, 11:32am

UPDATE 2:37 p.m. Los Angeles police’s mistaken shooting of two women driving a pickup truck in Torrance took place on Redbeam Avenue right in front of the house of Richard Goo.

Goo believes the two women were about to deliver the Los Angeles Times to his house, but they didn’t make it.

“It’s very unfortunate because they were just doing their job,” Goo said in an interview in front of his house. Goo, a cardiology technician, has lived in the neighborhood for eight years. He said he and his wife were in bed when they heard gunshots.

“We heard all this pop-pop-popping. And then I hit the ground, crawled around, dragged her out of bed, onto the floor and then laid on top of her,” he said.

When he called 911, Goo said the dispatcher told him the police were right outside his house and to stay in the back of his house until officers came to tell him it was clear. Several bullets from the shooting hit his house and cars. He believes between 30 and 50 rounds of shots were fired.

“When one of the ricochets hit off our glass door, I thought it had come through the door into our living room,” Goo remembered. “So I thought bullets were coming into the house.”

Goo called the whole situation “ironic.”

“It’s a bad time to be driving a pickup truck,” he said. “It’s sad that that makes you a target by the LAPD, but they’ve been targeted, so they’re responding.”

Goo said he didn’t know that LAPD officers were in his neighborhood to protect a department official named in Christopher Dorner’s manifesto, but he knows that a lot of retired officers from police forces in the region and retired firefighters live in his neighborhood.

“That’s why we live here — it’s a very safe neighborhood,” Goo said, chuckling. “And it’s ironic that the only violence our neighborhood has experienced is this — and it was brought to us courtesy of the LAPD.”

“Neighborhood riddled with bullets”

Hernandez and Carranza are both expected to be okay. They have retained attorney Glen T. Jonas.

“There was no warning, there was no orders or no commands… just gunshots,” Jonas told reporters.

According to Jonas, the women’s vehicle was “the wrong color and the wrong model,” compared to Dorner’s.

He said that police “had the goal of administering street justice” and “didn’t take the time to notice that these two older, small Latina women didn’t look like a large black man.”

The cops should be tried for attempted murder.
