102. I have a real problem with police discharging their weapons in pursuit

I have a real problem with police discharging their weapons in pursuit. It is extremely dangerous. It is VERY hard to hit your target while in pursuit. It is very difficult to hit your target even if you are not moving but the target is. This was EXTREMELY negligent. There are better ways to apprehend him other than shooting in a busy area. EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT! I mean seriously the reaction to go for the gun by these officers is insane. Do you know how easy it is to miss? Or even for a bullet to pass through flesh and continue on to hit something else? Ok he had a taser, it had been discharged.... According to what I have read the taser was then useless because the cartridge can only be fired once while shocks can be delivered multiple times. The taser was a NON-ISSUE.

I am sorry but it is absolutely unreal that we give cops leeway to fire their weapons so carelessly.


This doesn't happen with a white suspect. It just doesn't happen. At least not at the same rate that it happens to black people.
