Disturbing Image

Not something you want to see very often...
Especially as it was a case of mistaken identity.

 

Link to the news story?

 

Shite! Was he reaching for his registration?

 

I'm trying to find it again, but Yahoo changed it's format, and it's a pain...

 

I remember this story. Quite unfortunate. The taco was mistaken for another truck entirely.

 

Background info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt

 

Wasn't this in CA a few years ago? Doran or Dorman, something like that IIRC.

 

All cops involved were not charged, and I believe the victims received $4M.

I remember this they were looking for a grey Nissan Titan and shot a blue Tacoma and I believe a black Ridgeline. At least no one was seriously injured...

 

2 women were shot in the tacoma. LAPD said "we will buy you a new truck for the inconvenience of us shooting you! our bad!" and the women pretty much said "thanks for the new truck! We will drive to the court house in it when we sue you!"

"The women received $4.2 million in a legal settlement from the city of Los Angeles, along with money to buy a new truck." - from the lnk above"

 

And the cops killed the guy they were chasing, so the case never went to court. No one knows if the guy was guilty or not - he's just dead.

 

And IBTL.

 

That's a messed up story.

 

atleast we now know the Tacoma is bullet proof lol

 

Cops are giving themselves a bad name. I know my small county Sheriff by name, always says hi and shake hands. Known him since he went to college for DOJ studies. Rides a H-D now, used to have a Ducati. Nice man.
