We've all heard about militarized policing and cops shooting folks for not instantly teleporting themselves into the nearest jail cell, but it seems there may also be a national epidemic of cops shooting people who are already dead but still (allegedly) driving around in cars, as illustrated by this pair of Reuters articles:

San Francisco police shoot dead woman who drove car at officers

Atlanta-area police shoot dead wanted man driving Maserati

Maybe it's some kind of "Weekend at Bernie's" revival thing going on.

Whatever the cops say must be true, no? There are many crazies out there who shoot at cops with a gun which is in the glove compartment, or otherwise out of reach. Those deadly waistbands, though......who knows what they have tucked in there?

Hi all, get a load of this -

Texas Voters Line Up To Shoot Ballots At Local Election Range

see theonion.com

If you know about The Onion, every article in it is basically a lie. It is a comedy news source.

Cheers,

The Onion is satire.

The fact that that particular link is five years old might have something to do with it...
