96 shots in 41 Seconds.

That's how many rounds Chicago police shot, and the time it took to shoot them, in the traffic stop that resulted in the killing of Dexter Reed.

This demonstrates something we've noted here before.  It's seemingly urban police who really present a danger with their firearms. They rely on volume, apparently, as a tactic.  I don't know if a western policeman would have shot in this case, but I'm certain that 96 shots wouldn't have been fired.

And it's perhaps time to reconsider what policemen are allowed to carry.  This could only occur as they were carrying automatics with high capacity magazines.  I'm not arguing for magazine restrictions in general, but I do think that perhaps it's time to put revolvers back in the hands of policemen.  Relying on an old argument that warned against certain arms being issued to soldiers, which was in error given their role, if you can only shoot six times before you have to engage in a somewhat complicated reloading process, maybe you would be less likely to blaze away.
