Two bystanders shot by panicked policemen in Times Square. You would think that somewhere in police training they would point out that bullets keep going until the hit something or the ground. One of the wounded was a woman with a walker. I'm sure she was going no where pretty quick. Oh, the guy they shot at....he was unarmed but like I said, they panicked.

So we don't kill too many pixels I will put this here also;

North Carolina police officer shoots and kills a man who had just pulled himself from a wrecked car and was looking for help. First he got tazed and then he got shot multiple times. The police officer has been charged with manslaughter.
Not to say that all cops are bad, they're not, but they have been given the power of dealing death when it comes down to it and the nearly automatic assumption of justification for their acts. We and by we I mean the taxpayer, the politicians, and the police hiearchy have to hold their officers to the highest standards or we take the hit.
Is this funny or sad?
