I just heard on the news that Alexandria police have a policy that says, "Only fire on a vehicle if all other means have been exhausted, including moving out the way."

^^Also, in Washington, D.C., officers aren't even allowed to fire upon vehicles, unless it's extraordinary circumstances.

Here's what I think happened that night, a plausible account.


The teens DID eat and run. Hey, we've all done it at some point. They hopped in their jeep and tried to leave. As they turned the corner, the officer jumped in front of their car. The driver probably tried to swerve around the cop to escape the situation. The cop then fired 4 times into the jeep, killing NOT THE DRIVER, but a teen in the back seat.


It's terrible and it bothers me. Police need to review this and change policy ASAP. I may even write some letters just to express how I feel about this situation.
