And in some areas shooting to wound and not to "stop the threat" can put you at risk of being arrested... you aren't supposed to use your lethal force for "malicious wounding" (as I have heard it referred to by an instructor), but just to stop the threat of imminent bodily harm or death to you or another (and that "another" is a sticky situation too unless you know all the particulars)

Also some cops use tickets as easy overtime pay. They know that if they go to court it is typically out of their normal work shift and they will get paid OT for it. So in many cases where people think there is a quota, I think some of that is what is really happening.

In Phoenix (at least a few years ago) cops who hadnt been on the force for a while were not allowed to moonlight doing the security work in uniform, so this was their only real way to get extra cash for that period.

LiveGamer is responsible for it, they maintain it, they own it, they operate it. Any suit for lack of functionality on it should go vs them first, and SOE as an add on.

But, when does "the right way" have anything to do with lawyers :)
