Definitely fired more shots then he needed to.

The officer was trigger happy for some reason. Excessive force certainly. The quickness of filing charges indicate there is enough to warrant filing of the said charges.
Who is policing the policemen?

By how the story is told in both papers, I think I cannot trust my eyes...!?!?
If this is not excessive abuse of force and firepower, than I don't know. Death sentence for not reading a policeman's lips - Bang! What's next? Death for not reading his mind? Bang! Having had a bad day and your signature on a formula does not exactly match former signatures down to microscopic detail? That's forging a formula, that is deceiving the police - it's death, dude! Spilling some coffee on the policeman'S table by putting down the glass too hard ? That is lacking respect for the authorities - you're dead, man! That they acted so quickly maybe comes from the authorities realising by the grotesque reaction that they indeed deal with a trigger happy in uniform.

How many shots did the DC police fire into the confused, female motorist recently? There wasn't much said about that. 10 rds. can be shot off pretty quick. If you're scared, you will likely keep firing, until the target drops or stops moving. |
