there have been several instances recently where police involved shootings infact did not result in the death of the individual. The reason hollow points are used is they provide the most stopping power and they don’t penetrate the body. If a regular bullet is used and it goes directly through the body and kills someone behind the individual there would be huge public outcry. Stopping power and the inability to penetrate the body is why they are used not as killing bullets.

Good link Tracker07…
It’s always easier to blame the victim than to deal with the facts.” sounds pretty accurate to me.

There’s so much that went wrong you can’t call it anything but a comedy of errors and wonder how far they will go and have gone in the past.

The article on the two who were shot and killed…. doesn’t the RCMP use HOLLOW POINT BULLETS… they are not stopping power but killing bullets that musroom open to over twice the size when it hits it’s target.

To shoot someone in the back of the head would surely kill this person and to shoot someone three times would also…. why do they continue to hide behind all their lies…. don’t they have a conscience any more?

This is an interesting case worthy of a full review without bias.

Do you really think they will help someone else but themselves?… I hope not!
