Of course not. They were in fear for their lives. /s

[Secret Agent Man]

I called it then. Unbelievable.

They fired like 70-100 rounds into thattruck, and they arent’t prosecuted.

Big brother can never do anything wrong to citizens.

[Uncle Miltie]

Wrong make model color occupant count color gender description ......

Shoot!!!

[RobinOfKingston]

So, now we have another reason for opening fire on citizens: the police were “on edge.”

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Ridiculous. Only the taxpayer pays.

[DoughtyOne]

[Fred Hayek]

I would rather trust a law abiding citizen who just got his CHL than trust some cops.

[Terry L Smith]

Once again, as I had seen my 8 years as an adult in SoCal, the LAPD gets off, again.

[Vendome]

But they will fire 6 officers in Minneapolis?

[Chode]

SURE... Likely Story!!! POWPOWPOW bang shoot ACKACKACK pow bang BUDDABUDDABUDDA ACKACKACK bang pow shoot BURRRRRRRP... whoa Whoa WHOA, nice shootin Tex!

[Revel]

4.2 million from the taxpayers and the police are above the law. Once again. City tax is going up.

[Slings and Arrows]

The police investigated the police and found no wrongdoing by the police. What a surprise.

[Scrambler Bob]

And the DA showed the redacted police report on TV. Solid blacked out lines, all of them.

He said there wasn’t enough information for him to make a case that the cops weren’t protecting themselves or others from a fleeing felon, or some such blab....

Police report is not ‘public info’, he said.

[Ken H]

The officers opened fire in the predawn hours of Feb. 7, 2013,

So 3 frikken years later we get this whitewash.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Those idiots should be fired. They are too stupid to be cops.

[kingu]

Ping for the Socal list.

[kingu]

There is no valid excuse for this. It was panicked shooting, it was in a populated neighborhood, and they hit multiple houses trying to mow down those delivery girls. Beyond, all the shoots to the BACK of the car which was retreating showed full intention of KILLING their target, and eliminates the excuse of self defense.

This really needs to be bumped up to the state or the feds for prosecution if the local DA can’t bring themselves to actually do the right thing.

[jwalsh07]

Edgy is an affirmative defense for base stupidity and reckless endangerment along with assault with a deadly weapon I guess
. Not all cops are bad guys but this level of trigger happy is beyond the pale.
