Miami police kill 2 unarmed suspects by shooting disabled car 377 times
MIAMI, FL In perhaps the largest case of contagious fire on record, a suspects vehicle was riddled with hundreds of bullets in a chaotic and frenzied show of police force following a pursuit. Witnesses emphatically said that the vehicles 2 occupants were trying to surrender, but that did not stop a total of 23 police officers from firing at least 377 shots at the vehicle. The officers wild volleys of bullets struck not only the suspects, but also neighboring houses, businesses, vehicles even fellow police officers.
A robbery suspect, Adrian Montesano, had his vehicle pinned between a utility pole and a tree following a pursuit at approximately 5:00 a.m.
As the blue Volvo remained stationary, officers aimed their rifles towards it from every angle. For nearly 2 minutes, officers tensely waited with weapons aimed.
Suddenly, one of the officers opened fire. The gunshots caused other officers to join in. Roughly 50 shots were fired at once.

One problem with your analysis is that the officer who was shot did not die and was released

No way. The police are killing innocent men, women, children and dogs. It's a war on The People. nm

No. The police are responsible for their actions. Or at least, they should be.

Non-SWAT police officers carry AR15s and Mini14s which are semi-automatic.
