Is the L.A. police out of control?

quote:
The child's mother, Lorena Lopez, said she pleaded with officers to hold their fire.He had problems with depression, his business was not doing well," Lopez told KNBC-TV. "I told them that he needed help, he needs a psychologist, but please don't shoot. They didn't understand, and the police fired, like, 300 shots."

Wow 300 shots. I guess the cops arent as good of a shot as they thought. Oh & yes the LAPD was outa control.

surprisingly, the mother didn't plead with her husband to release their daughter:rolleyes:

i don't think it's out of control here, the man should see a psychiatrist BEFORE he decides to take the gun and his daughter as a shield and go into the streets, not after. the death of a child is of course a big tragedy, but officers are not the ones to blame. after all, they had a three-hour standoff.

That's an obvious exaggeration. If twenty cops were present with 9MM pistols, they could only fire 180 shots before having to stop to reload. And twenty cops for something like this is a LOT.

And this was the gunman's fault... not the kid's.

Definitely the father's fault. He was intoxicated and on drugs and shooting at the S.W.A.T. team trying to help an unarmed civilian out of the area. It's a shame the daughter died, but in this instance the police acted correctly and accordingly.

I dont think the police did anything "out of control" here. There was a dude ed up on drugs and alcohol with a firearm and a baby in his hands...who wouldnt expect something terrible to happen?
