But UNTIL we put in those changes, the police are the ones who get this


call.

You're right that this makes a great case for "Rethink the Police". But given the reality right now that the police ARE the ones who respond to this sort of situation, I'm not sure the cops did wrong.

Excessive number of bullets? Maybe, but see my post further down on how most police officers have never actually discharged their firearm in a real life danger situation.
