Two Kansas City police officers who thought they were being shot at from inside a van returned fire Thursday night.
Only later did police realize that the van was actually backfiring and the man inside was not armed. He was not injured by the shots fired by police.
Windows of the police car were apparently shot out by the officers as they exited the patrol car.

It must have been impossible to frame the guy, otherwise I'm sure they would have.

If they can’t tell the difference between shots fired and an engine backfiring, I think they’re in the wrong job.

Come to think of it. It’s been a long long time since I heard an engine backfire so I’ll give the officers a little slack. The whole of the east side of Kansas City is a battleground so I’d cut ‘em a little slack.

Windows of the police car were apparently shot out by the officers as they exited the patrol car. That is WAY funny. Maybe their therapists told them they should release their 'Inner Fifes".

Cops seem WAY too jumpy these days. Too MILITARIZED. Certainly this pair was trigger-happy!
To: posterchild
Thank God the guy in the van wasn’t hurt. Imagine how shaken up he must have been when he realized it was police shooting at him. I think he’s going to be sitting pretty down the line...

Where I’m from - you drive an old clunker that backfires? You will be receiving lots of tickets.
