Private citizens did this, even in self defense with proper "target identification", and they'd be in jail. Additionally they would be sued for everything they had.

You pull the trigger, you're responsible for what happens to each and every bullet.

These are the folks that the gun grabbers say are the only ones who are 'well trained' enough to be armed.

Humblegunner's hat can shoot better than LA's finest.

There was a second "mistaken identity case":

Police seeking Dorner opened fire in a second case of mistaken identity

Torrance police say the man was driving a pickup resembling the fugitive's. The incident happened just after the LAPD fired on women delivering newspapers nearby.

This one was a shorter skinny (by about 100 lbs) white guy mistaken for the 6 foot 270 pound black guy.

What a bunch of Keystone Cops. Fortunately after ramming his truck, the Gang that Can't Shoot Straight missed him. And to make matters even more commical, they were responding to calls of "shots fired", from the other police shooting at the newspaper delivery ladies. They were all police shots of course.

Is there any doubt that these keystone kops would obey any gov’t edict to fire upon citizens? The willingness to wantonly use deadly force without any regard for due process or inconcent bystanders tells you everything you need to know about the existence of govt stooges’ willingness to use violence against the populace.

I was really hoping that video of the 2 cops exchanging fire across the hood of a car with a suspect and NOT HITTING HIM, some years back was an aberration.
Unfortunately, that incident, the one in NYC where the cops managed to only graze the suspect but nail 7 or 8 bystanders, this, and others seem to be the norm.
How is it that there are so many people in the government that have sharp objects and live ammo who should be on the short bus?
I understand this is L.A., but aren’t the rules of engagement supposed to be tighter than over in the sandbox?
Those women are lucky to be alive.
But geez. There are over 50 rds in the back of their vehicle alone, and only one of them was hit twice, with non-critical wounds?
At that rate, some 9 year old with a super soaker will take out the whole department in a fight.

In retrospect, it was pretty reckless to be driving a blue truck that morning.

Well while looking for a black guy, they done shot two Hispanic women and one white guy.
If I was an Asian, I'd be watching my six real close.

Grotesquely unprofessional.

No wonder these *sshats need to get dressed up in their SWAT gear to break down Granny’s door.

Send ‘em all back to Police Academy I where they came from.

For some reason the police don’t want the ex-cop to talk. Reminds me of the movies.

"As an officer, you look for cues. You know how someone drives normally and then you see someone coming at you slowly, driving in the middle of the street, stopping and starting. That can be misinterpreted," he said.

Somehow LA's finest missed the cues of the newspapers flying out of the truck's windows and onto the driveways every time the truck stopped.

"..mistaken.."

Felonious, at a minimum.

As the vehicle approached the house, officers opened fire, unloading a barrage of bullets into the back of the truck.

Were they driving the truck backwards up the street?

we are always told cops get far more training than ccw holders. training that makes them steady under pressure. right.

.... After the investigation is completed, Beck and an oversight board will decide if officers were justified in the shooting or made mistakes that warrant either punishment or training. ....

No mention here of possible criminal charges, naturally. What the heck, it was all just a one big mistake and you can't expect the gang banging cops to be charged for doing their jobs. It was all in a nights work after all. Maybe they'll just get their wrists slapped. And if that isn't good enough then they'll probably play their get out of jail FREE card of 'I was in fear for my life'. Works every time.

seriously regular folks need to start being concerned with death by cops, esp. when the chief excuses major eff ups with ‘stress’.

if any cop is this stressed he might act this way it’s time for them to leave the force, they are a danger to the public.

What’s worse is being shot then having Kanye West in the operating room yelling that it should have been Beyonce.

“Details emerge in LAPD’s mistaken shooting of newspaper carriers”

This was not a “mistaken shooting”, it was an intentional attempt to murder the occupants of the truck without an actual knowledge of the identity of those occupants. A clear case of attempted murder.
