I am normally in preference to giving the police the benefit of the doubt until all the cards are played but I do have a problem with this case.
Over 135 shots were fired at an unarmed couple and Brelo stood on the hood of the automobile after they were stops and shot over 40 rounds through the windshield.
Methinks that is a bit of overkill and whether it was a high speed chase or a robbery gone bad, if the couple was unarmed, there should have been NO zippo, nada, nein, nyet, NONE, zero reason to shoot more rounds at them than the Texas Rangers shot at Bonnie and Clyde.

IMO, car is a deadly weapon.
p.s. Could it be that Texas Rangers were better shoots?

Number of people killed with guns in a year.
Number of people killed with cars in a year.
Do you really have to guess which one is more deadly? If you're going to kill someone, use the car, you'll get a lighter sentence of vehicular homicide. If you're in my state, slosh some alcohol around while you're at it and get an even lighter sentence.
A person walking down a street twirling a gun in his hand will certainly induce panic. A person driving down a street functionally distracted doesn't get the same response.

...Growing up in Cleveland and northern Ohio, I was taught two things about the CPD: first, they will unhesitatingly lay down their lives for you. Second, do not ever, ever, EVER make the mistake of pi$$ing them off, because they will make you regret it regardless of your race, creed, color, sex, or national origin.

[PJ Media] Another shoe, a big one this time, dropped in the endless Benghazi-missing-emails-erased-servers-what-difference-does-it-make controversy that the Clintonistas are trying so hard to push under the rug before it upends Dame Hillary's presidential campaign. And the scoop comes, once again, from the New York Times, of all places, not some rascally website run by rightwing lunatics like this one.
Emails have surfaced from long-time Clinton bag man Sid Blumenthal indicating the whole Libya debacle was instigated by a cast of sleazy lowlife profiteers out of an Elmore Leonard novel. Smarmy Sid was pumping info from this dramatis personae to Hillary (at more than one email address) about goings on in that benighted country and our then secretary of state believed him -- at least most of the time -- passing his "knowledge" on to her underlings.
And this is a woman who wants to be president?
We know the results of this insider information: Gaddafi gone, four Americans killed in Benghazi, including an ambassador, with Libya a massively failed state overrun by ISIS goons who lop the heads off Christians by the seaside for sport. Good work, Hillary. Good work, Sid.
From the Times:
...an examination by The New York Times suggests that Mr. Blumenthal's involvement was more wide-ranging and more complicated than previously known, embodying the blurry lines between business, politics and philanthropy that have enriched and vexed the Clintons and their inner circle for years.
While advising Mrs. Clinton on Libya, Mr. Blumenthal, who had been barred from a State Department job by aides to President Obama, was also employed by her family's philanthropy, the Clinton Foundation, to help with research, "message guidance" and planning of commemorative events, according to foundation officials. During the same period, he also worked on and off as a paid consultant to Media Matters and American Bridge, organizations that helped lay the groundwork for Mrs. Clinton's 2016 campaign.
Much of the Libya intelligence that Mr. Blumenthal passed on to Mrs. Clinton appears to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government. The venture, which was ultimately unsuccessful, involved other Clinton friends, a private military contractor and one former C.I.A. spy seeking to get in on the ground floor of the new Libyan economy.
See what I mean -- pure Elmore Leonard. (Too bad he's dead -- but his website lives on.) Nevertheless we appear to be at tip-of-the-iceberg time. This is a potential American nightmare and the New York Times finds itself in the middle of it. (Go figure.) That being the case, however, the Clintons have something to worry about. The editorial staff will no doubt do their usual best to whitewash things, but a few reporters at least are doing their jobs (in this case Nicholas Confessore and Michael S. Schmidt). Others may join in. Will it be another Watergate? Who knows? But it would be ironic. After all, that's where Hilary got her start. Will it be where she gets her end?

The better question: how many more Sid Blementhal's work in the Hilarity campaign, the Clinton Foundation, or as conduits between Hilarity and the government?
And then, how do you expose them?

Will Sid Vicious upend Hildebeest? Only to save his hide. I don't think these left-wingers are nearly as dedicated as say Gordon Liddy or others who were willing to serve a stint in the graybar hotel to protect Nixon.
