This is so beyond freeeking stupid I’m going to hurt myself venting, after jawboning about how dumbass Potter was.

It’s been about 40 years since the first reported incident of a person being shot while quietly minding his own business in the next room. In a tall apartment building in Honolulu, about 1980, cops shot, missed, killed a kid on the couch next door.

That event started the push for frangible bullets to be used in urban environments. It didn’t take long for very effective frangible rounds to be available and I always had them available. They were designed to not penetrate two layers of sheetrock with much energy left. This stuff has been available to cops in urban areas for decades but you never see them use it. Think how many frangibles they could buy for the cost of the mistake? Garcetti is going to have to write some serious checks to clean this one up.

Yes, what is the cop’s name and what kind of bullets was he using?
