Local cops shot a guy in a car years ago. Someone found a slug in a watermelon that was in front of Albertson’s, about 100 yards away. It crossed a busy road, a parking lot, and the sidewalk in front of the store before striking the melon.

Local cops - SWAT team - opened fire on a guy who was coming toward the front door with a rifle when they broke his door down. They fired 71 shots, many unaimed (cops who couldn’t even SEE their target). Put bullets in 5 houses. Eventually paid $3.4 million to the widow.

FWIW, if I’m in the rear of my house and hear someone trying to force their way thru the front door, I’d respond with a gun too.

“Other officers claimed they saw splinters from the doorjamb being hit by bullets; the shots that caused this were determined to come from other members of the SWAT team themselves....A video of the raid shows roughly 38 seconds expired from the time the police briefly sounded a siren upon pulling into Guerena’s driveway until they shot him. At this point the five person team fired at least 71 rounds at Guerena in less than seven seconds, who died after being hit 22 times.

Guerena’s wife called 911 to request medical assistance for her husband shortly after the shooting. Paramedics, however, were instructed to hold back. Guerena was denied attention, for about one hour, until the team declared the “area secured”.”
