I don’t know if that report was true or not, but there was never any reason to turn loose 71 rounds of rifle ammo in that house. I wonder what would have happened if the Marine had loosed something with a little heft, like a 300 gr projectile at around 2500 fps. With 4400 foot pounds of push right off the muzzle, those fellows would have gone down like bowling pins. Of course he would still be dead, but could have bled out with a little more satisfaction.

If anyone likes, check with your local police department or city council on what their policy is regarding the use of deadly force. You will find in most cases that once an officer discharges their weapon, they are to continue firing until the magazine is empty. Dead is cheaper to settle than paralyzed in a wheel chair and pissing in a bag for the rest of your life. Dead is in the few hundred thousand dollar range on average and wounded needing living assistance for another fifty years is in the millions.

Review your community's standards and you'll be surprized. Once a cop gun is fired, they want the Sallie to be dead.
