You may be interested to know that in 2007 a total of 187 Police Officers were killed in the line of duty. 9 of which were struck by a motor vehicle so it turns out you can really die from this. Also everyone is up in arms about the number of shots fired. I will be the first to admit that 50 seems more than excessive however the accuracy in an officer involved shooting when 3 or more officers are involved is around 9%. This is in large part because of the adrenaline. The fact is that Mr. Bell was only hit 4 times. Now I don’t think anyone knows what shots hit Mr. Bell so my question is when should the officers have stopped firing at the vehicle? Was it the first four that hit Mr. Bell or the last four? The fact is I don’t know and would not bet my paycheck either way. I would however bet that had Mr. Bell and the others involved simply complied with the officers direction he would be alive today.
