SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Responding to calls for reform after a fatal police shooting, the San Francisco Police Department on Wednesday unveiled new training methods that require officers to shoot only two rounds at a time.
The changes came more than two months after five officers shot 26-year-old Mario Woods 21 times on Dec. 2 last year. Woods' death led to a federal review of the city's police department.
New pistol training guidelines require police recruits to hear the command "threat" before they fire at targets, to shoot only two rounds at a time, and to stop and reassess threats after every two shots.

There's a Washington Post story behind a pay wall.

It includes this little gem as well.

Another new policy demands that all sworn officers take an additional eight-hour class on how to handle suspects with blades and other non-firearm weapons.

It's going to get rough when we neuter all the cops.

What happens when someone gets shot twice, the lawsuit gets filed, and the department can't prove that the second shot was necessary?

The ghetto lottery jackpot just got a little bigger.

Idiots, simply idiots. But we knew that already!

This is going to end poorly.

This is so stupid.

I can't believe that any sane person lives in California these days.

The sheer stupidity of this leaves me speechless!

I can't believe that any sane person lives in California these days.

There aren't any.
