Our MCSO gun safety class leader said private citizens will be responsible for each round sent down the pipe. Which makes me wonder about that cop a while back racing through the neighborhood firing through his windshield at a bad guy.Just got to wonder where all those rounds go that they miss with. That's right the basic principle that you are responsible where every round you fire does not apply to LEO's. They have immunity from this responsibility.
I have read this before and wonder if the officer was shooting FMJ 45acp?
Didn't really read but I'd imagine you could line them up if you really needed to stretch your ammo.Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job
Dont know if this is a repeat but I found it to be a great story.

The PoliceOne article says: "Remarkably, the gunman was still showing vital signs when EMS arrived. Sheer determination, it seemed, kept him going, for no evidence of drugs or alcohol was found in his system."I would be interested to know what a blood toxicology screen ... showed.
My background is in LEO use of force policy and law. I am unaware of any such legal immunity for LEOs. Please share references to statutory or case law that grants LEOs immunity from prosecution or civil liability for the negligent or reckless discharge of a firearm. It wasn't hard to find this 2016 case of an NYC cop successfully prosecuted for "the negligent discharge death of a innocent citizen". The CA cop mentioned in the same article was also successfully prosecuted.Just got to wonder where all those rounds go that they miss with.

When a law enforcement officer shoots an inordinate amount of rounds where do all those bullets go - rarely if ever do the majority of the rounds hit the intended target - who accounts for those rounds that missed said target. What happens when a bystander gets hit by one of those rounds. The officer is not responsible it gets blamed on the action of the individual that gets shot.My background is in LEO use of force policy and law. I am unaware of any such legal immunity for LEOs.

I am not as well-versed in the law regarding non-LEO use of force but my understanding is that if you acted reasonably during a lawful self-defense situation you would not ordinarily be charged with and/or convicted of reckless or negligent discharge. Of course, it you have evidence to the contrary then please share it. Thanks.
Liang, who was convicted in February of manslaughter and official misconduct in the shooting death of an unarmed black man in 2014, was sentenced Tuesday to five years of probation and community service after the judge in the case reduced his conviction from manslaughter to criminally negligent homicide moments before ...Apr 19, 2016My background is in LEO use of force policy and law.
