He can't remember? Then how did he become a cop if he couldn't remember the rules?

That looks more like 50 than 15 shots.
He wasn't the only one that fired shots.
A backfire caused this. Craziness. Get your exhausts fixed folks, could be life or death.

That's the worst excuse ever.
He wasn't the only one firing.
It doesn't sound like his ability or willingness to remember will have much impact in this case.

So this fool waits until all the other cops stopped shooting and runs and jumps on the hood and fires 15 rounds through the windshield at point blank range. Of course he can't remember......

I reread it, not sure why that wasn't clear to me the first time.

Water is not wet!
So after all the other cops get done lighting the car up he charges forward, jumps on the hood, and fires point blank into the windshield and doesnt remember it?

They were probably already dead, but this guy desecrated their corpses. What a piece of shit.

Chances are they are already dead from 100+ rounds already fired. Sounds like he just got caught up in the Get Some moment and got overexcited.
edit: reminds me of the AZ(?) raid where they breach the door and start firing and an officer runs up and fires blindly over their heads.

You know how those cops get. The guns come out and they go into a hulk-like rage.

I wonder if the 2nd amendment is worth the cost more and more everyday.
The people who were murdered by these cops were unarmed. The second amendment has nothing to do with this.
If we repealed the second amendment, do you think cops would also stop carrying guns?

To compare, their car:
137 total shots. Armed: Unarmed. Their crime: Speeding? Evading Arrest, maybe?
Bonny and Clyde's car:
Around 130 total shots. Armed: Stolen automatic rifles, sawed-off semi-automatic shotguns, assorted handguns, and several thousand rounds of ammunition. Their crime: dozen-or-so bank robberies, multiple small store and rural gas station robberies, murder of at least nine police officers and several civilians.
So what got the police to open fire on them. I know they were in a chase, but once they stopped, did they just open fire for no reason, or did they have some reason to believe they needed to fill the car with bullets (outside the car backfiring at the beginning, which is hardly justification)?

Bonnie and Clyde were killed by 6 people using weapons from the 30s.
Over 100 cops were chasing these two. Be thankful the car was not disintegrated.

This must be the dumbest cop in the country, and that's really saying something.
Everyone knows that all you need to do to get away with any violence as a cop is to say "I feared for my life." and/or "He was coming right for us!".

I think 12 other officers fired on the car and none of them were brought up on charges. Evidence and eyewitness statements seem to corroborate the story that the officers were justified in feeling their lives were being threatened. It was stated that the officers who fired believed the car was moving toward them deliberately.
The car was surrounded and off the street, so the prosecutor argued that there was no justification to shoot in an attempt to prevent the car from fleeing. Which is why after the barrage of 100 and something shots was finished and this dummy jumped up on the hood to fire at least one fatal shot, he was charged with two counts of manslaughter. Four or five supervisors were also charged for not doing their jobs during the chase (not informing dispatch of how many cars there were in the chase, not communicating with their officers, one for pulling over and not contributing, etc.).
If the current understanding of what happened is accurate it's clear the guy committed a crime. Fortunately in addition to him hopefully facing justice the families were able to settle their wrongful death suits with the city for $3 million total.

Just thought it was an interesting comparative use of force, given that these people were killed in a similar way with a similar number of rounds as a famous criminal couple. Especially comparing both pairs "crimes" that led to that use of force. These unarmed civilians were killed in a manner similar to a famous heavily armed former "Most Wanted" couple. Kind of makes you think.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't understand how outside getting a favor called in this dude got that dumped to voluntary manslaughter.
I'm guessing it's because he did it after a chase and a barrage of gunfire.

Why is America becoming so mental? Serious question. Is it the gun laws, the racial tension, stupid people? I just don't get how this sorta stuff can happen day after day.

It's becoming less violent overall, except for the cops. They really shouldn't all be carrying guns.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
They always get away with it. This other guy would've. If he didn't jump up on the hood of the car.

Anyway... even still he isn't getting the full punishment.
I would make the "0_o" face again, but honestly it's not even surprising at this point.
I think I know the video you're thinking of but it was from a few years before this incident. If I remember right the car was also moving in that video and the officer acted properly.

Apparently, a lot of people get hopped up on adrenaline and completely lose their shit after high speed chases. Which is why some police departments have banned chases.
People shoot each other everyday in murrica...gangs vs gangs, random acts of violence, drive-by's, revenge, crime of passion, robbery, paranoid white cops, political ideologues, anti-goverment activists, etc...
