Shooting Liability

In looking up info on police training, I came across a page that mentions two legal cases that shaped thinking on police training.  The cases were Popow v. City of Margate and Zuchel v. Denver.

EMS response time as reported by USA Today ("call-to-shock") was pretty lousy.  Rochester is mentioned in conjunction with a study of the survival rates based on "call-to-shock".  That's something of a guide to how long the cops would take to arrive.  Minneapolis apparently had an 8-minute police response time to 911 calls.
