Can We Find Out What Happened First

Rev Al says this needs to stop. What needs to stop? We do not know what happend yet. Can there be an investigation before we start accusing cops of wrongdoing.

And I want to stop hearing that cops fired way to many shots. 50 in all. Cops are trained to empy their guns if they have to fire. Now if you want to argue that their training is wrong that is one thing but dont be mad at them for doing what they are trained to do.

Some bigwig in the police union (I think?) yesterday on TV said that police officers are trained to fire three shots then look to see if they need to fire more. Not to empty their clips (or to empty three clips as one officer did). I'm not saying the cops were wrong to shoot the guy, but 50 shots seems excessive.

This has come up many times before during certain situations - and it has always been eventually reported that cops are trained to emply thier clips. I would like to see the soundbite from the bigwig. My uncle (who is retired cop) told me that is what they are trained to do. I had this discussion with him a while back so rules may be different now or different in other cities.
