Scott Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 A police officer in San Antonio, Texas has been fired after shooting a teenager in a McDonald's car park. Police say the officer, James Brennand, arrived at the fast-food joint after receiving a call about a possible disturbance. The officer believed the car the boy was in was a vehicle that had escaped him the night before. The 17-year-old was eating a burger with a friend when the officer opened his door. The boy backed up the car, and struck the officer with the door. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-63209829
KhunLA Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 I saw that news-blip. Actually I think the first few shot were justified, as he did purposely put the car in reverse and step on the gas. That's battery with a deadly weapon. If conditions right, the officer could have been killed The follow up shots while driving away, that's definitely got to be against departmental policy. News-blip I read stated the plates didn't match the car, then further down stated, 'unknown if a stolen vehicle' .... ???? Why do the never think to shoot the tires ... maybe high risk of ricochet.
