The "under 60" rule kicked in. As long as you only shoot the thug 59 times or less, you're okay.
Jury decides police who shot at man 59 times did not use excessive force
SAN FRANCISCO — The civil trial over the fatal police shooting of Alejandro "Alex" Nieto concluded Thursday, with a federal jury finding that officers did not use excessive force in his death and awarding no punitive damages to his family. It took the jury roughly eight hours over the course of two days to return with a verdict.
Nieto was killed in a hail of gunfire in March 2014 in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood. In a span of about a minute, four officers fired a total of 59 bullets at the 28-year-old, 14 of which landed and hit him the head, shoulders and back. The San Francisco district attorney's office declined to criminally indict the four officers in February 2015, on grounds that the police had "acted reasonably" in self defense.
