"These people need training and they need restraint."
In the other incident, again the vehicle did not match Dorner's vehicle and the 2 Asian ladies delivering papers certainly did not match his description, but that did not stop police from opening fire on them wounding one of the ladies. It is just fortunate they were not better shots or we would have 3 innocent people lying in the morgue. The action of these officers was reckless and dangerous and showed complete and total disregard for the safety of anybody besides themselves.

I would agree the officers in this case should be fired. . .I mean the cases are ridiculous. Though in situations like this. . .its easier said than done to train to stop such events. The human mind capability for rationale thought is limited. . ..but these officers definitely couldn't handle it. I just don't know how to educate/stop/train away from this psychological breakdown nor find individuals who are prey to it.
