No sh*t. While mostly being a LEO supporter, I was aghast that the LAPD was so paranoid and trigger-happy about Dorner that they opened fire without knowing who the occupants were, not to mention not even the same type of truck. Yes, at night certain colors blend, but different makes of trucks, please. Street cops know different makes/models. That's why they're called "street" cops.
I didn't bother to ask the Alaskan above, but what would he think if a local bank robber had a SUV/truck and was the object of a nation-wide manhunt? So he's driving down the road on his way home and his somewhat similar SUV gets shot to pieces out of nowhere and for no reason? Guess that would be okay with him - not. He'd sue them into oblivion and I would support him. Again, those cops should be shit-canned. Period.
You have a real bad habit of ASSuming, don't you?
