That is not the fault of our police or of the Chief - it is the fault of our illustrious Mayor bobby NOT SO bright. HE has instituted a policy that basically ties our polices hands -- they must be "in danger of their life" or another person "must be in imminent danger" for our cops to shoot a suspect. If the suspect is running they must subdue him/her/them -- if they shoot them they LOSE THEIR JOB!

Losing their jobs may be the least of their worries. The police could be charged with a crime in today's PC environment.

They could be charged, but no jury in Mtg would convict cops for killing people fleeing the scene where the cops witnessed them shooting two people. This ISN'T California
