At least they were able to hit the lake.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but since they didn't actually hit and kill an innocent person will they be found to have "acted within department policy"?
ReplyDeleteOf course.
ReplyDeleteRemember APD narcotics officers sawing the burglar bars off the 81-year-old woman's basement windows to "serve a warrant" so they could search for drugs. She shot at the intruders, and they killed her. I think the chief apologized, but I'm not up on what happened to the raiders. They were acting in good faith on an informant's tip, so I guess ... nothing.
I read in a magazine once of a woman who died of a bullet wound from a lake ricochet. When they figured out that's what it was and not a murder, they realized that if her car window had been up it would have deflected it.
These cops are a tragedy ready to happen.
My point Defender. If they had killed someone we know they would have been found to have been "within department policy", but since no one was injured or killed does that apply?
