Still no reason for why this happened, but the cops apparently had a lawsuit filed against them in the past. Also apparently their duties involve *only* serving warrants.

the heck

Jeremy Mardis, who was buckled in to the SUV's front seat, was pronounced dead after being struck by five bullets -snip

The hell, here I was thinking it was a single stray bullet.

Edit: wrong thread

At least they had official active paperwork against them and went outside of their duties; the cop in NY who assaulted the former tennis pro was investigated multiple times but nothing ever came of it.

As to being shot 5 times, that's just sad. I'd say murder will be a realistic conviction. You don't fire that many rounds without intent to kill. F'ed up situation.
