Also cops are not "trigger happy" Have you ever had to shoot someone? Have you ever had to make that decision and LIVE WITH IT?

Another thing, MANY of the cops were on their own time.

Good morning.
My all time favorite "trigger happy" cop footage is of the cops in Southern California (Compton?) standing in a circle blasting away at a bad guy in an evil SUV from a few yards away, fortunately not hitting each other or any civilians, but only wounding the guy they were shooting at.

What does the fact that many of the cops were volunteers have to do with the thread? The topic is the number of shots that were fired and why so many were.
