I no longer trust them with a gun. They really need more training. I've seen too many videos and read too many stories about them missing at point blank range. The latest being the cop who was fired and arrested after opening fire on an unarmed man after a seatbelt stop. He was no more than 3 feet away and 5 of his 6 shots missed. They're worst shots than gang members and will end up shooting and killing innocent bystanders.

That's clearly an exaggeration but they aren't as good as we would like them to be. If you give a gun to an adult that has never fired one you would expect better than 1 out of 6 from 3 feet or less. There was a video of them firing into the back of a minivan filled with little kids and they didn't hit anyone. I believe that cop was fired too.

I agree that law enforcement in general uses the excuse that you never know what can happen as why they need to treat every situation as a full out confrontation, but many of those confrontatiosn are escalated by them being dicks and creating problems by pushing people.

The most dangerous part of their job is driving.

They're all barely educated sociopaths, I don't know why they are allowed to have guns. It's like letting Ted Bundy into your sorority.

Police Officers Who Shot at Two Innocent Women 103 Times Won't Be Fired

The eight Los Angeles police officers who shot at two women over 100 times will not lose their jobs. They won't even be suspended. They'll just get some additional training.

They'll need it, since the shooting happened at the height of the manhunt for cop-killer Christopher Dorner, when police mistook two women delivering newspapers in a blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for one man hellbent on revenge in a charcoal Nissan Titan pickup truck and shot at them 103 times. One of the women, who was 71 at the time, was hit twice in the back. The second woman was hit by broken glass. I would say those cops should get some training in target practice, but then it's probably best for innocent newspaper carriers that they don't.

Yesterday, a commission found that the officers violated department policy when they thought the sound of a newspaper hitting the pavement was a gunshot and opened fire on two women who were, again, doing absolutely nothing wrong except driving a truck that didn't even look like the one they believed their suspect to be in.

The officers faced suspension or even firing, but police chief Charlie Beck elected instead to let them all return to duty once they undergo some additional training, according to a memo obtained by the AP. The officers have not been named, so you'll probably never know if the guy writing your speeding ticket once shot at an innocent senior citizen.

Shortly after the women were mistaken for Dorner, another police officer shot at another pickup truck. This one was black Honda Ridgeline. Brian McGee drove his cruiser into the truck and opened fire three times. The man inside the truck was not hit, but he sustained back and head injuries. The city of Torrance, where the incident took place, gave him $20,000 to replace his truck which was, again, a black Honda Ridgeline and not a gray Nissan Titan.

Last month, prosecutors found that the officer was "justified in using force to stop the vehicle and in discharging his firearm" and declined to press charges.

"Although mistaken," the district attorney's report said, "McGee honestly and reasonably believed that Dorner was driving the truck

going by that logic, i see youtube videos all the time where cops just start shooting for no real reason... so i think i should just start shooting before they do because "i never know whats going to happen"

Sounds like a perfect plan Ike.
