Was watching the news last night and saw the footage before it was blurred out by news channels. The poor ups driver that got killed was shot by police as he crawled out the door on his belly. It was obvious from the camera in the chopper that was flying over and recording who he was. But the minute he crawled /fell out of the door you could see the bullets impacting him from the police officers firing from what seemed to be approximately 20-30 ft. SAD SAD ...............

not good. to bad the thieving hijackers can only be shot once. No matter whose bullets they dig out of that ups driver and that bystander, sure sounds like this time fault lies 100% with the thieves. If ever two people needed killing they fit the bill

Apparently the police were using bystanders as human shields. very poor form.

What a bunch of cowards.

I don't know what happened and I believe that policing tactics have changed for the worse over the last 40 years. But, zerohedge may even be a less reliable news source than cnn.

Watching the video it looks like law enforcement failed. I blame them for the UPS driver losing his life.

You’re right Dany, they did need killing. But if the driver was alive when he went to the ground, and the bullets that killed him were from the police, there’s no excuse for that. Poor training and (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) poor judgement.
