Police Review Deadly Force Policy

Chicago Police are taking a hard look at their deadly force policy, specifically when it comes to shooting at vehicles. Currently, officers can only shoot at vehicles when there is danger to them or others. But a possible change could allow officers to shoot at a fleeing vehicle if the driver or passengers are suspected of committing a felony. Chicago Police have been reviewing all of its policies, including this one for the last 18 months. Do you think they should change the policy? Are you satisfied with police reaction now? Superintendent Jody Weis admits the deadly force policy is not as clear as he wants it to be and says it's confusing to officers. But Weis also believes any possible change could make it safer for officers and the public. Do you agree? He's trying to provide clearer direction and says he's not rushing any decision. We'll see if this policy change actually happens.
