He didn't even have a gun in the boat , Yet the police riddled the boat WITH GUNFIRE

214. Really?

We have some answers about the massive screwup around Richard Dorner. After mistakenly shooting the wrong make, model, color pick up truck more than 100 times, the LAPD offered to replace the innocent women's pick up truck. If they posed for pictures with the LAPD, and if they paid taxes on the truck that they were replacing after shooting it full of more holes than a ton of swiss cheese.

But still, how those cops shot more than 100 holes in a pick up truck that was a different make, model, and color than the bad guys suspected vehicle is not been answered.

So how hard is it to say that the officers in question over-reacted drastically. How about charges for attempted murder? Reckless discharge of their weapons?

There has always been a double standard for police, but it is getting out of hand friends. Two years ago, a police officer left his K9 unit in the car, while he went to the hospital to see about his son. Now, I am not chastising him for his concern for his child. I am not upset that he wanted to see about his family. I understand and support the idea of family first. What does bother me is that he left the dog in the car, where it slowly died from heat exhaustion. Now, if I was to do that, I would be featured here on the DU boards as deserving death for animal cruelty. If you had done it, same outcome. When the police found out, I would have been charged with animal cruelty at a minimum, and arrested on the spot. If police are going to uphold the law, they need to obey the law, and be held to the same standards as we are. That isn't anti-police. That is pro-civilization. The laws either apply to all, or they are the cudgel that is used to keep the subjects in line.
