So someone gets shot and the cops haven’t done ballistics to see if the bullets came from the cops guns?

It is quite possible that the bullets were not recovered. They could have passed through the limb and therefore not be available for testing.

Hmmmm.. The cops seem to drag their feet when investigating the Long Island serial murders too.. Cop did it!

I’m adding “Anything with ‘Urban’ in its title” to my “Events never to be within fifty miles of” list.

"Sarah Garcia, 25, was shot twice in the chaos last year"
I have never been shot in the chaos but am told it hurts!

For all of the bullets? Four people are shot and they aren’t trying to figure out who did it?

Cops armed with automatic weapons fire 115 rounds into, or at least near, a crowd? Even the most vehement cop hater on FR would say... "Really? Geez, that's excessive."
Of course, the "journalist" is probably wrong. Or might have an axe to grind. Or both.

I’d wager the ‘fully automatic’ part is bunk but the number of rounds seems fairly consistent with numerous other stories, if I recall correctly.
The video I remember seeing had a massive crowd so its consistent as well.

So four of Holder’s people run over a cop and then speed away, hitting several other cars.
Not a good idea in any city.

Every firearms instructor I know stresses the fact that “You are morally, ethically, and LEGALLY responsible for every single bullet that leaves your gun. Period.”
Unless you’re a cop. Then you can spray lead where ever you feel like it apparently.

Which hurts more, to be shot in the arse or shot in the chaos?

These four people weren’t in the car. They were people on the street who happened to be in the cops line of fire.

Rule #4: Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.

only a cop or a deranged criminal would shoot auto into a crowded situation. Only the cop would get away with it.
