A-holes.
Stupid
No regard for for the victims nor what their backstop would be, which, I guess, was one of the victims.....again
I wonder how well it’s going to work out when the cops get the m-60s, armored cars and mini-guns they want. Maybe they can shoot some poor woman hostage 30, 40 or even 50 times.
Forget it, Jake. It’s California.
Prima facie evidence that a) most police can’t shoot (they don’t practice enough), b) they are not held responsible even if they shoot up the place and kill people, and c) they are most definitely not the saviors of hostages.
Target practice?
Doing my best Jethro Gibbs voice:
“Ya think?”
It was a Stupid joke , everyone around here thought so, but those close to the Police force.
“Accept responsibility” means you go to prison for murder, idjit.
Only by the grace of God an innocent didn’t get hit by the uncoordinated firepower aimed at the younger Boston Bomber hiding in that boat. According to Wikipedia, on the scene were members of the “FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Guard, the Boston and Watertown Police departments and the Massachusetts State Police.” And that, “When the suspect started poking at the tarp of the boat, police began a large volume of gunfire at the boat, stopping only after the Superintendent on the scene called for a cease fire.”
Would 580 been Ok? How about 500? 250? 3,2,1? I get it..None. Just let the bastards go. Morons.
With all those shots being fired I’m surprised the cops didn’t kill another cop or an innocent bystander.
Is it on YOUTUBE yet?/
Hopefully, they didn’t kill any kids while spraying rounds across three counties.
Ping.
Oh, they killed one of the hostages. That’s policy these days, though, isn’t it?
On July 16, 2014, the bank robbers arrived at 2:10 and took everyone hostage. . . but that particular day I did not feel well after payroll and decided to skip lunch. I stopped at the bank early and was there an hour earlier than my normal time, left, dropped off the bank bag and receipt and went home.
Had I not been feeling ill, I would have been in that bank right when the robbery went down. . . and being armed I probably would have tried to do something about it. At least I hope I would have. . . and I'd probably have wound up dead, considering their firepower and willingness to use it. On the other hand, maybe not. Sometimes, someone shooting at them at the right moment will stop them. I knew the nice lady who was taken hostage and was killed by the excess force used by the police. It was totally unnecessary for the Stockton PD.
Channel 13, the local CBS News, is talking about it now on the TV news. . . and they are saying that officers disobeyed orders and too many responded. A Police Captain fired the first shot. Then other police started firing "sympathetic shots" and kept firing, some just firing at the car, with no specific known target in mind. This finished about a half-mile from my Stockton house. . . they say that no police shoot out like this has ever occurred in US History. Leave it to Stockton.
i’m not what can be called anti-gun but i can’t understand this either. She was hit TEN TIMES????
there has to be a better way to stop these things; there must be a way to disable any vehicle with a .50 Cal bullet into the engine from the ground or chopper. There must be some microwave, EMP thing that can disable an engine. That would slow it down.
running gunbattles are nuts. use could maybe have been made of ANYBODY with a hunting rifle and scope, etc-—how hard is that?
I’m glad this morton cop is taking “responsibility;” what a ______ moron.
The entire force and city should be sued out of existence into a black hole: CALL A PHILADELPHIA LAWYER, not some old boy from Stockton (wherever that is).
Oh-—i was a detective for 30 years....
