They try to tell us that only cops should have guns.

Horse Puckey!

A man backing a car on a sidewalk can hardly be called "unarmed"! Some people are fixated on guns.

It's a good thing they weren't shooting at the broad side of a barn.

"There are occasions when officers are entitled to shoot at someone in a moving vehicle," Wolfgang said, adding that some of the bullets hit the car."

Yeah, when their lives are in danger by the perp. I had to take a weapons safety course to qualify with the service revolver every year. One thing that is stressed is that you don't pull out your weapon unless you plan to use it. Another is you don't use your weapon in an unsafe situation, especially where civilians may be injured. And finally, you don't fire your weapon without being certain where those bullets are going. These guys were wrong in firing at a moving vehicle if there was no danger to themselves. I usually find myself siding with the police officers, but in this case...I just can't.

Doesn't the article title seem unusually and excupatorily passive?

How about "Cop shoots bystander"?

remember the scene in "It's a Wonderful Life", when george bailey is running down the street after he has slugged burt the cop, and burt gets up and draws his gun and fires after george.... it always cracks me up the way he randomly shoots four shots at a fleeing suspect as innocent bystanders could be dropping like flies in pottersville...
