What's to comment? Without viewing the actual tape, we don't know if the policeman was justified in the
shooting (if Browne actually did not start putting the weapon down, the police could feel justified,
especially if he was holding it in a threatening manner, whether he meant to or not).
The only thing I pulled out of that story is that Duilio shouldn't be allowed back on a beat until he
takes a few weeks of practice shots - 7-10feet away, 6 shots, and only 2 hit? For a trained police
officer, when the "criminal" wasn't returning fire? Shameful.
