Authorities in San Francisco released body camera videos on Tuesday of a dramatic shootout in which police officers fired their weapons at least 65 times in 15 seconds at a murder suspect. The San Francisco Police Department said the shooting happened on Feb. 17 in the city's Mission Bay neighborhood when officers confronted 31-year-old homicide suspect Joel Armstrong inside an RV at a homeless encampment. Armstrong allegedly shot two men the day before during a carjacking in the city's Panhandle neighborhood, killing one of them. Body camera footage released by police shows how officers tracked Armstrong to the neighborhood then the moment when he shot at officers, who then returned fire. "Nobody was struck by gunfire during this incident. The evidence in the case so far indicates Armstrong fired two rounds from a weapon, and that seven officers fired 65 rounds from their department-issued weapons," SFPD Commander Greg McEachern told KTVU. Armstrong eventually turned himself into police, and has been charged with murder, carjacking, and eight counts of attempted murder. The videos were released at a town hall meeting about the shooting, where residents expressed concerns about the number of homeless encampments in the area. Authorities said they are working to move people into housing. Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Keystone Cops edition. How did they not shoot each other during that or get hurt falling all over each other on the sidewalk? Maybe the SF police are only issued blanks. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

65 shots and they didn't hit the perp once? Maybe someone needs a little more time at the range. Given this was San Francisco, a sanctuary city, maybe the perp was an illegal and they didn't want to hurt him. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
