So...
  • You're driving by a police HQ.
  • Your beat up hoopty backfires
  • 100 cops jump into 62 cars and go onto the road giving chase
  • The 22 mile chase ensues; for whatever reason the driver doesn't stop
  • When they finally do stop there is a barrage of bullets from 13 cops
  • 137 shots fired at/into the car
  • and the victims are each hit more than 20 times each

The KNOWN crimes committed at the time of the shooting:
  • Speeding
  • Not stopping for a horde of cops chasing you

Charges in the killing:
  • One cop charged because he waited until the car stopped, jumped on the hood and fired 15 shots through the windshield (just to make sure).
Why wasn't he convicted?
  • They couldn't tell if his shots were the coup de grace.

Questions:
  • Makes sense?
  • This is justice?

I think one of the guys had a warrant out for him and that's why he didn't stop but I still don't see why they fired 137 shots, that's a lot of fire for two dudes in a car.

I'm more concerned about all the lives put in danger by these people recklessly driving at high speeds through the city.

One of them was a woman.

When the car stopped, he jumped on top of the vehicle, didn't say anything and proceeded to empty his gun through the roof of the car. I guess he didn't think the first 120 bullets made their mark.

All of them? Every single one of the 800,000 or so in the U.S.? Seriously?
