59 rounds in 30 sec

[simple man]

Cops fired 59 times at a guy....and hit him 43 times. Bet he don't try that again.

"
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Alonzo Heyward carried a rifle around his low-rent Chattanooga neighborhood one day last month, ranting about suicide and ignoring the pleas of friends for hours before six city police officers surrounded him on his front porch and decided it had to end.
His father says Heyward told the officers, "I'm not out here to hurt anybody."
But police, who tried unsuccessfully to disarm Heyward, fired 59 rounds to kill him on July 18. The medical examiner found 43 bullet wounds in his chest, face, arms, hands, legs, buttocks and groin. Police contend Heyward was a danger to others and threatened the six officers."

my god, that makes me sick

we need to totally overhaul the whole police system
this kind of thing happens WAYYYY too often
sean bell, then this.

and people wonder why a vast amount of Americans do not trust the Police.

That'll teach him to talk about suicide!

I agree to a large degree with Biggin though, I don't know the details about this, but in general the Police and the justice system as a whole is out of control in this country and needs a great big overhaul.

I tend to think this is overkill ,but if you don't drop the gun for 6 or 8 armed cops- I can see how everybody would shoot you.

[Gotch]

I guess that's one way to prevent him from killing himself?
