And by endangering the entire neighborhood...these highly trained gentry have ensured that any sympathetic citizen who could report an incident, assist them in some way, or even speak up for the PD...probably won't....
The person in the car, no saint. But it seems this event was a very good example of poor training or outright panic.
As for the car being a 3,000 pound weapon, maybe so. But so is a patrol car, and it too can be used as a block or impediment. Still...100 some rounds discharged into the vehicle, immediate surroundings and area...isn't exactly safe either.
Jeesh, as bad as Compton might be, it isn't ww-2, and mayhaps bringing back 'walking fire' or fire suppression, is a bit misplaced.
