Prevent a shooting by "spray and pray?'!

You are gonna have to justify that one. These officers supposedly shot at a nearly 17x5 ft vehicle at point blank range, and managed to hit homes and a train station in the process. If they were firing fully automatic weapons, then I would belive a few stray rounds were in order.

But cheesy 9mm semi-autos! The recoil is minimal, at the return to target is very quick. That is, when one pays attention to the sight picture.

Sounds like a cure worse than the disease.

1Do you know that the rounds came from police weapons? There were casings in the vehicle, correct?

2 Riccochets

3 What, police officer can't fire weapons around houses if there lives are in danger?
