“A Texas police officer who fired 41 shots at a chase suspect in August has been fired.  Michael Allen, 25, was shot and killed after a high-speed chase that began in Garland and ended in Mesquite, Texas. Allen was wanted on suspicion of eluding police in Sasche a few days earlier.  Garland police spokesman Officer Joe Harn said Tuter violated the department’s general order of use of force and its pursuit protocol.  The department at first said that Tuter opened fire in fear of his life, but dashboard camera video raised concerns after it showed that Tuter had rammed Allen’s truck and fired 41 shots after he cornered Allen. Tuter reloaded twice, police said.”
