A hail of bullets over a fender bender? Yikes.
A dui check perhaps, but to make a judgement this poor those cops had to either be drinking on the job, or truely inept .
a fender bender. They heard him say he had a gun. And it sounds like he hit the cops on purpose.
As far as I know, I don't think that the police consider claiming to have a gun justification for shooting for the kill. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong (James, are you a former police officer or am I misremembering?)
You are misremembering. I'm a math teacher.
