What about a policy that allows shooting SUVs on sight? I'm sure the lefties would go for that.

Los Angeles -- The district attorney's office announced Monday that no charges will be filed against the police officer involved in the February shooting death of a 13-year-old boy who rammed a stolen vehicle into a patrol car after a short chase.
The early morning shooting of Devin Brown on Feb. 6 sparked protests in the South Los Angeles area where the shooting occurred.
The Los Angeles Police Department sent its findings to the district attorney's office Aug. 5 for a decision on whether to prosecute Officer Steven Garcia, the officer who shot the black teen.
District Attorney Steve Cooley, in a 21-page report, said there was "insufficient evidence to initiate criminal proceedings against Officer Steven Garcia for the death of Devin B. As a result of these findings, we are closing our file and will take no further action in this matter."

Because everybody knows that if you are killed by a vehicle you aren't nearly as dead as if you were killed with a gun. /sarcasm
What time do the riots and looting start? I want a new plasma tv........

I hear a rumble in the distance and it's coming closer. Keeping popcorn handy.
Well, at least there is one less dirtbag off the streets. I am talking about the car thief/attempted murderer who got shot by this excellent officer.
"The new policy bans firing at a vehicle unless something other than the vehicle is a threat."
And passenger jets taken over by terrorists are not dangerous either (just the terrorist). Please do not shoot down the plane, it has not done anything to you!
