Four times within just two weeks, D.C. police officers shot someone. The circumstances of each incident are different, and each case must be judged separately to determine if the shooting was justified and if the use of force was necessary. But so far this year, D.C. police have shot more people than in all of last year, and the recent spate of shootings underscores the need for a broad-based review to identify the factors involved in police shootings and whether steps can be taken to curtail or stop them from happening.
