The reason is ...
It's not at all possible that the victims were just scared these could be thugs chasing them around? :shrug:
... to let them know they are armed officers.Come on, Andy. You are the one who said they should have fired warning shots. Why?
Since you don't know the answer, I'll spell it out for you:
You only shoot when deadly force is justified. If you don't think deadly force is justified, you do not shoot. If you do think deadly force is justified, you shoot for center of mass. Why waste time firing a warning shot and letting the bad guy get a shot off at you?
Next, what should he have fired the warning shot at? One of the surrounding buildings where he could hit an innocent? Up in the air where it could come down on an innocent? At the pavement where the ricochet could hit an innocent or one of the other officers?
Tell me, Andy. You said they should have fired a warning shot. Please explain.
