Good morning.
"Another poster brought up the number of cops saying that it only happen because it was a cop killed and that it cost too much."
I"m not too concerned with who or what you were responding to. You made an absolute statement that cops aren't trigger happy and I provided an example to prove that at least some are.
I haven't seen enough facts, but it sounds to me like they emptied a magazine apiece, from a short distance away, at a fixed target and missed a few times. 68 hits out of 100 isn't so bad considering the circumstances, what the guy had done and what he probably would do if he got the chance.
Google something like "Compton police shooting" if you are interested.
