Violence inherent in the system!

I was watching the news this evening, and before a story was over, I had logged into Blogger, because I knew this story was going to piss me off.

In New York, New York there are a bunch of people mad because a guy was shot by police detectives, and the detectives were acquitted.

As always happens when a controversial case is decided upon, there were pissed off people loyal to the ruled-against-party.

A random clip showed an agitated civilian yelling. I quote:
"If I shot 50 times at a police car, would I be guilty?"

Yes you would, you moron.

The next bit of information was a repeated phrase that it was to be the victim's wedding day the next day.

Maybe in the news that makes a difference, but someone who commits a crime on his wedding day, on his birthday, or on Earth day is just as guilty as he would be on any other day.

Moving on.

The officers evidently saw a fight break out, and were convinced the sparring personnel were armed, and opened fire.

I believe there were three officers.

Now if these guys had the time to fire 50 rounds, wouldn't you think something was going on meriting such a expansive expenditure of ammunition?

Then the news reporter said the officers believed that they were being run at with a vehicle.

Now if somebody is shooting at you , can you think of a situation, a logical situation, where you would convey the idea that you are going to sun over someone, without intending to run over someone all while under small arms fire?

Now I'm not a doctor in any way, but then again, as Miguel says, this isn't rocket surgery.
