I'm saying no one can hit what they aim at 100% of the time, especially with a hip-fired weapon with no scope. While I was still in the military, I earned the marksmanship ribbon with the M9 and even I missed the mark 4 times.

quote: ORIGINAL: DarqueMirror quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl IF they aimed for the torso, they obviously missed. So much for their training. Ban bags are not intended to be aimed except at extremities. What happened? And can you hit exactly what you're aiming at 100% of the time? Have you even ever fired a weapon? I'm confident I'm going to hit what I'm aiming at or I don't squeeze the trigger. With a grenade launcher firing a tear gas canister this is pretty straightforward. Aim an arcing shot well over the heads of the nearest rioters or shoot at the ground in front of them. Neither one accounts for a man standing 10 feet in front of the officers getting hit in the head. It was intentional or the cop is the worst trained LEO I've ever heard of.

quote: ORIGINAL: DarqueMirror quote: ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam Like a headshot with a teargas cannister? No. "Headshot" implies intent. I'm still waiting to see evidence of that "intent," but I dontthink it exists. Here's another hole in your "intent" theory. When shooting at human targets, cops are trained to aim for the torso, as it presents the biggest, easiest target to hit. So even if there was "intent" to hit a person with a non-lethal round, the head would not have been the target. And for another hole: we don't even know it was a tear gas round. It could easily have been a bean bag round, which are intended to be fired at people. However, the previous statement about aiming for the torso would still apply, as that would be the ideal, non-lethal yet effective place to hit a person with such a round. No, headshot means he was hit in the head. As for beanbag rounds. Do you mean the ones that the Oakland PD spokesperson said they didn't use? As the investigation progresses, it will be REALLY easy to ascertain what he was hit by as it fractured his skull so the cuts on his head will match some munition. Again. Either he was shot deliberately in the head or he wasn't. If he wasn't shot deliberately, someone can't hit the side of a barn and needs some SERIOUS remedial work. If he was shot there deliberately someone needs to be held responsible. Will that happen? I doubt it very seriously.

I still have yet to see any evidence of these claims you claim the cops made. "I'm pretty sad and obviously it's very painful," she said Friday. "(Somebody in the national media) said I should have resigned. But I don't have time to think about politics. I have to keep people safe. "I've been able to organize the communities and balance the budget. It's painful to have all your work defined by one thing. The city probably did make some mistakes, that's why I apologized to the family of Scott Olsen." quote: Jordan, Quan and Santana have since tried to justify its use of force. They have launched an investigation to determine if it was used properly and whether law enforcement agencies called in to provide mutual aid during the protest followed Oakland's policy on less-lethal ammunition. The city adopted a crowd control policy after many innocent bystanders were injured by less-lethal ammunition during an April 7, 2003, anti-war protest at the Port of Oakland. Clearly the city violated its own policy, said Civil Rights Attorney Jim Chanin, who helped forge the agreement and said he was shocked that once again, it appears that Oakland overreacted with violence against people exercising their First Amendment right to go to a march. He said the police department needs to be held accountable. "Quan still has time to show some leadership and hold the police accountable and let the chips fall where they may," he said. "This has obviously been a big problem for her. I think there will be time for judging her when it's over. But this is still happening and she needs to step up. She has to balance the actions of the police and the rights of the protesters." http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/localnews/ci_19219380?source=rss I dont think the Mayor agrees with you.

Interesting. You it sound like the guy had a laser-targeted missile and still missed.

This big obnoxious red bold-face type on your screen is the link to the evidence you've requested. Click the big obnoxious red letters formed into words to hear for yourself Chief Jordan claiming outright no flashbangs or less-lethal rounds were used. As, you know, has already been linked once. To everyone else that's not shoving their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes and singing ring-around-the-posie, to try to preserve their arguments, I do apologize for that.

(minute of arc) Quarter sized groups at 100 meters, etc. If someone can't either A: Hit the ground which is larger than a barn or B: Shoot over the top of a group standing 12 feet away they need to have their toys taken away.

The Mayor stated something went wrong. The city probably did make some mistakes, that's why I apologized to the family of Scott Olsen An admission of wrongdoing.

Back to assumptions as to the location of the shooter vs. The guy who was hit, hmmm? How sad. Tell me something, Mr. Marksman. You've shot over the heads of people standing twelve feet from you. If that's all there were, that's great. But what if there are others further back than those 12 feet? Your round has to come down sometime, doesn't it? Guess you just shot someone in the head too. Not too tough an accident to have, is it?

The evidence presented was the evidence you asked for that the police had used nonlethal munitions and lied about it.
