A neighborhood resident who heard the gunshots said: " You've got stun guns. You've got rubber bullets."
Oh really? Shoot stun guns and rubber bullets at a stolen moving car that has already hit you?
Snark alert. And if those don't work, maybe step up to rubber-band guns? Ping-pong ball launchers?
SMH at neighbor's idea - stun guns or rubber bullets against moving car.
Not commenting on whether LEO's shoot was or was not justified, although that's open for discussion, esp after more info is avail.
Please this is not a gun control post or thread. Maybe 'Basement' (Pol. Pavilion?) is a better place for gun control discussion.
