How about when a pregnant couple driving home stops at a red light and comes under fire with pepper bullets due to nearby police?

Are you talking about this case? https://twitter.com/morphonios/status/1268370620418527232. There was tear gas too even.

Yep! That's the one.

There is also a theory that a portion of the burnt out cars you see are actually set on fire by tear gas canisters. Those canisters contain a combustable charge which creates the aerosol (from a solid compound).

Since they are being fired everywhere, it's not surprising that some end up underneath parked cars.

I think you might have meant Dorn (as in David Dorn, the ex-cop who was recently killed during looting in St Louis) not Dorner.

RIP the 4 innocent people Dorner murdered.

Certainly, but the case also illustrates serious issues with policing. During the hunt for Dorner, the LAPD shot up three separate sets of innocent people.

Bingo.

Alllllso, they burned the house down that he was in, so he wouldn't get his day in court to tell everyone the whole thing was over him reporting excessive force.
