The MPD special tactics Gus were driving around in unmarked vans shooting supposedly non lethal rounds at anyone and anywhere. They called it “plinking” They took bets from each other on whether they could hit a far distant citizen. They tried to plink a black fellow but missed. The guy looked around and all he saw was an unmarked van with gun barrels sticking out. So he grabbed his real gun from his trunk and returned fire. He didn’t hit anything but MPD charged him with attempted murder. He was found not guilty at trial but you can see the dichotomy between shooters.
