(174 posts)What if instead of the 2 mexican women or the surfer the police shout up, it was Dorner and his Lawyer heading to the police station to turn himself in? You really don't understand. When police start shooting at random vehicles that aren't even the same make and model, but close to it, surrender is taken off the table. Just think about it for a minute. Two Mexican women & a white male are shot at, without warning and without provoking the police, in a case of "mistaken identity." Two Mexican women and a white man were mistaken for being a 6ft 250+lb black male. The police never tried to make a positive identification. The make and models of the vehicles were different from the description given. I know there have been a lot of mistaken identity cases and just going by my memory I've never heard of a case where police shot at random people without notice. Even in cases of mistaken identities police will make an attempt to ID the suspect and make sure the person is the same race and gender as the description and they'll confront the suspect before shooting. In these two cases the police didn't even try to get an ID or try to identify themselves or confront the suspects. They just started shooting at vehicles that somewhat matched the description. That lets me know the order was given to shoot first, questions will be asked later. Surrender was taken off the table by the police from the beginning.
