The day after the incident happened, I heard Mayor Bloomberg on the radio news say that a cop is not allowed to shoot at a car that is trying to hit him, unless someone in the car is shooting.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so I asked my son, who is an NYPD Police Captain.
He said, that's right. The idea is that the cop can get out of the way. That is just ridiculous.
Yes it is. If a car was coming at me and I was a cop I would have shot at it. Maybe too many rounds were fired but I am thinking we aren't getting the whole story yet. Just the media's and families . I haven't been watching the news too darn depressing .
