... but should have, just like regular CCW holders are held responsible for every shot they fire. If you hit a bystander while defending yourself, you get to go to jail - I see no reason why the cops should be held to any other standard.

Especially after incidents like the ones where police unload dozens or hundreds of rounds into improper targets then don’t even get disciplinary action for poor marksmanship or endangering the public

Ah yes, the Dorner snipe hunt:

Indeed, Animal Farm in action.

Locally, the cops ran around shooting up the place after a suspect that had never fired at them (was unarmed). The never touched him, miracle they did not hot a bystander during their target practice.

Ah yes, the Dorner snipe hunt:

I do remember that incident...In Torrance...

LAPD officers were in Torrance, patrolling near the house of some LAPD officer...

A mother and her daughter were inside that truck...They did get some compensation from City of Los Angeles...

If memory serves, Dorner was driving a gray Nissan pickup, so of course those cops thought a blue Toyota might be him with enough certainty to shoot it up.

For those seeking a reminder about the Christopher Dorner case, try this newspaper story.

For those who have delivered newspapers from a moving vehicle, here is your paragraph:

When one of the women threw a newspaper onto the pavement in the early-morning hours, an officer believing the sound was a gunshot opened fire. Officers unable to see clearly into the truck sprayed it with 103 rounds, and hit seven nearby homes and nine other vehicles with gunshots and shotgun pellets.

I don’t much care for this “spray and pray” stuff. I’m a believer that the police should carry a six-shot revolver and maybe a speed-loader instead of high-capacity autos (like they used to do). They should make up for lack of fire power with range time (and no cheating on qualifying). I wouldn’t be adverse to them carrying a bolt-action rifle like the (original?) Italian carabinieri for long distance accuracy.

They also shot up at least one more vehicle. The two Mexican ladies were just out delivering the morning paper when they were “protected”.
