Good questions

Professor Bainbridge asks a couple of pretty good questions:

The LA County Sheriff’s deputies who shot up Compton last week have apologized to the residents of the neighborhood they terrorized. (Link) This astonishing incident raises two burning questions:

  1. What the heck possessed the cops to fire 120 shots at Winston Hayes?
  2. Having fired so many shots, how the heck did they only manage to hit him 4 times?

Trigger happy cops are bad enough. But trigger happy cops who couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn are even worse.
