That excuses why they couldn’t tell who was in the truck. Now, what excuses the fact that they opened up with their firearms while they were unable to tell who was in the truck.
If they could not identify the suspect, they should never have fired. That’s the bottom line - if they can’t identify they sure as hell can’t shoot.
LA got off cheap.
Excuses? All we know is that the cops opened fire on the truck. I don't know if the driver failed to stop when and if flashing lights and sirens were used or what occurred prior to the shooting. Do you have more information available to you?
