New Policy Allows Chicago Police Officers To Shoot At Fleeing Vehicles - cbs2chicago.com
Wow... isn't that awesome, cops can just go around shooting cars that are 'fleeing'... if they are a 'suspected' felon.
No, cops wouldn't abuse that... now, even if you ARE a felon and running from cops... the adrenline is already pumping enough that the person running almost DESERVES the beat down he gets once caught. Telling cops, someone runs you can shoot... let's say their's a drunk driving checkpoint and someone tries to run it cause they are drunk (on it's own not quite a 'felony') are they telling me that cops just won't pull out their guns and start shooting??
But hey "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." The biggest fallacy ever... since there's no limit to that. We just want to take a walkthrough your house... no, 'what have you got to hide??'
Is it just me, or is America starting to look more and more like an occupied country?
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Police Department is considering a major change in policy regarding the use of deadly force.
The department is looking at allowing police officers to fire their guns under circumstances where they previously could not.
The new policy, from police Supt. Jody Weis and confirmed by WBBM Newsradio 780 Wednesday morning, would allow police officers to shoot at fleeing vehicles if the driver or passengers are suspected of committing a felony.
