Policy violation
So, the cops who shot at a couple of women delivering papers because they thought the two small Asian women looked like a big black dude “violated policy”
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

These women were lucky they were short. Notice how high the bullets were in the rear window? I wonder what those cops thought when they saw two women and not a large dead black man? Bet it was hilarious watching them panic.

Google Brian Mcgee torrance.
The SECOND attack on a pickup truck happened the same day. Officer McGee rammed a pickup and shot into the driver’s compartment. He never identified the driver:
‘Officer Brian McGee acted in “an atmosphere of fear and extreme anticipation” when he purposely rammed David Perdue’s pickup truck and fired at least three shots at him on Feb. 7, 2013, mistakenly believing Dorner was at the wheel.’

How could these things happen? Where were the “majority” of good, honest policemen? I’m sure dozens of the “good cops” will resign rather than work for departments that commit atrocities like these. Probably exactly the same number of “good policemen” who resigned or who refused to enforce the unconstitutional CA, NY, DC, CT, MA gun laws.

To me, the key part of the story isn’t “they violated policy”: of course they did, by shooting at an un-armed target they hadn’t positively identified.
What I see as the key part is this:
“If Beck does discipline the officers, the penalties are expected to be warnings, written admonishments or similarly light punishments, the sources said.”
So basically, you can nearly kill two innocent people by violating policy, and your punishment is a slap on the wrist.

Bear in mind that they’re all dirt bag cops including the panel of high ranking police officials who recom-
mended that Beck let those responsible off. What happended to protecting and serving?

@ Wade: The “good, honest policemen” may be a majority (though I think it’s a slim one, and keeps shrinking), but that doesn’t mean they’re distributed evenly. In fact, I would say it’s just the opposite – the bad ones cluster and, if not dealt with quickly and properly, rot the entire department from within. The good ones end up leaving and going to other departments, or changing careers completely, because they won’t put up with this kind of shit.

Until the Good Honest Policeman quits protecting the Bad Dishonest Policemen they will always be considered Bad Dishonest Policemen, regardless of whether they are Good and Honest…

Even if it had been Dorner, what those cops did was attempted murder. As likely as it is that he committed all the crimes of which he was accused, and as likely as it was that he would continue to be a threat as long as he remained free, he had never been convicted of a crime. Yet nobody seems to have a problem with the idea that the cops were attempting to perform an extrajudicial execution.

Dwight, don’t kid yourself. A cop can kill an innocent person (in, say, a no-knock raid on the wrong address) and it would only be newsworthy if he were prosecuted for it.

A continuing accumulation of these types of police incidents which only result in token punishment will encourage vigilante justice. That is a consequence no one should want, especially the police. But that seems to be the course they are fixed on.
Also, isn’t it funny how in comparison the press demonstrate so much more outrage against Zimmerman?
