Good to know

The relatively few "connected" residents of Southern California who are fortunate enough to possess a handgun carry permit will be heartened to learn that shooting an innocent bystander (one who doesn't even make so much as a "furtive movement") is now perfectly OK, at least if one happens to be a police officer in San Bernardino County:

"A district attorney's report says an officer who fatally shot a bystander at a California pizzeria robbery was legally justified.

Chino police Cpl. Claudia Lisner shot 23-year-old Daniel Balandran outside the restaurant on Feb. 1, 2009.

Balandran was leaving a McDonald's and walked into a gunbattle between officers and two robbery suspects.
...
The report says Lisner asked Balandran to show his hands, but he did not. Lisner kept hearing shots and feared for her life, and she shot him in the chest."

After all, if that sort of idiotic reasoning is good enough for the "special people", it's good enough for the peasants, right?
