I have to think that 100 rounds zinging around presented a much bigger danger than some guy without a seatbelt.
Normal weekly gunfire volume for that neighborhood without the cops contributing. I believe.
My thoughts exactly. Totally uncalled for barrage of rounds. Those rounds will not automatically stop at 25 feet if not stopped by an immovable object. The background that surrounds the scene have homes with families that may be in the path of the fired rounds. Cops are lucky that innocents weren't shot. There have been similar shootouts where many innocent people were struck and killed by police bullets.
