"There were 45 cases in which officers intentionally fired at crime suspects, down 25 percent from the year before." Will there be a report of unintentional shootings?

Oops, I see you corrected it. Thank you. (I was going off the RSS feed, which has the old headline)

It took them eight months to figure out how many bullets they fired last year?

So what, this means nothing! So they fired less bullets but maybe they used their stick more to beat the shit outta someone. Maybe they used their feet more to kick the crap outta someone. Less bullets don't mean less violence, they just found more alternatives.

I once fired a bullet for not getting the the job done. Ba-da-dum! Thanks, folks, I'll be here all night!

To be fair, Sean Bell wrecked the curve.
