No.
In answer to the claim that "getting into a vehicle that may have a gun in it I would equate that to a threat"
I said
"It's too bad no gun was found. Anybody can claim they thought there was a gun after the shooting is over. It doesn't mean there was a reasonable suspicion - reasonable enough to justify firing 50 unanswered shots."
I am questioning the claim that there was a threat which justified the firing of 50 unanswered shots.
