All that and you didn’t once mention the 9 who were hit by the police.

Many other people were mentioning that. Doing so again did not seem to add to the discussion.

I do not expect perfection. Could they have done better? Probably, but it is easy to criticize after the fact. I do not know that I would have done better. I am told that you never know until it happens to you.

It’s not a matter of “not doing better”; it’s merely more evidence that there are two sets of laws.

Had any non-officer shot nine innocents while taking aim and firing at a criminal shooter while said shooter was 8 feet away, he or she would be arrested and charged.

When will the involved officers be arrested for wounding nine innocents when they were 8 feet away from the actual criminal?

I am told that you never know until it happens to you.

Especially by people who panic and shoot innocent bystanders....
