    As the OP I agree with the sentiments that if you shoot at a police officer and you are fired upon you deserve what you get.

    That said I am amazed that it seems OK to have poorly trained officers using firearms on public streets with what seems total disregard for the consequences.

    The number of shots fired with (I believe) only two hits on the target/perpetrator is staggering.
    The fact that no innocent parties were hit was pure luck. I'm not talking about the drongo's that put themselves and their children at risk. I'm referring to rounds penetrating windows 200m away.

    I don't know what the police rules of engagement are. But surely they include things like check firing zone?????

    if not

    How would the senior officers justify a member of the public's death (adult or child) collateral damage? bad luck?

    How would you????????????
