Sounds like the deputies need to get some serious practice time at the shooting range.

133 shots? What a waste of ammo, sounds like those boys need to spend more time at the range.

face it, if you run from cops and let them get you stopped you might as well give up. One of them will step in front of your moving car and then shoot you for assaulting them with your car.

Apparently, a 4K lb projectile doesn't count towards "being armed", in the limited mind of this reporter.
If you're using your vehicle as a weapon, then you are clearly armed and lethally dangerous.

I don’t blame them for shooting him but it does sound like the cops went into some kind of blood lust. Shooting that many times in a public area really is a dangerous thing to do.

“One deputy alone fired 42 times and reloaded twice.”
Sounds like it’s been awhile since that deputy’s had his ashes hauled.
Too much coffee?
I don’t know.

Over kill isn’t necessary.
Aim properly and get the job done.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has wrapped up its investigation into the deadly shooting of an unarmed auto theft suspect last month. Torey Breedlove refused their commands to give up, and rammed their vehicles to escape,
He was armed with a deadly weapon, a vehicle that weighted a couple thousand pounds.

Seems Florida Deputies luv to throw rounds... Jacksonville FL deputy suspended 5 days: shoots 2 cars & house chasing suspect Deputy Suspended For Chase, Shooting Internal Affairs Found Officer Violated JSO Policies POSTED: Thursday, October 8, 2009 UPDATED: 7:05 pm EDT October 8, 2009 Officer Jose Gonzalez was disciplined for firing shots at 17-year-old Kenneth Drotar on Nov. 24, 2008. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville Sheriff's Office deputy was suspended for five days for wrongly firing shots and violating car chase protocol in the hunt for a robbery suspect. Jose Gonzalez fired 10 shots at a 17-year-old suspected of robbing two women. The officer's bullets hit a home and two uninvolved vehicles, but missed his target. The internal affairs investigation report obtained by The Florida Times-Union also found Gonzalez wrongly tried to take the lead in the chase of a car on Butler Boulevard last November. According to the report, Sheriff John Rutherford says in it that Gonzalez "fired a total of 10 rounds, all from inside of his car." The sheriff says in the report that for Gonzalez to "shoot from a moving vehicle does not meet JSO criteria." Rutherford goes on to say in the report that his shots "struck two uninvolved cars and a house ... and that the authority to use deadly force on a fleeing felon does not outweigh the safety of other officers and citizens." Video: Sheriff: Officer Violated Policies Another officer was already filling the lead role in the pursuit and had radioed that he would lay tire-puncturing sticks ahead of the suspect. Gonzalez tried to pass the lead officer to perform the same task until he was finally ordered to stand down. The report also says Gonzalez cut off another officer "when the suspect made a U-turn on Beach Boulevard." The suspect, Kenneth Drotar, later surrendered and was taken into custody. Cedrick Smith, 20, who also ran from the car that crashed after running over the stop sticks on Cortez Road, was shot and killed when police said he pointed what turned out to be a BB gun at officers. http://www.news4jax.com/news/21237099/detail.html

Wow, when I first read the caption on this story, I thought “i wonder if this happened in Lee County?”.
This type of thing would be right up the alley of many a Lee County Sheriff’s Deputy.
