Although Commissioner oyster be-

not feel that members Of the force
should be unduly restricted in usIng

He stated this as his position today

officers have used their revolvers in
pursuing persons they were endeav-

II think that IL q policeman would
pause for an instant before firing his
aim would be better and there would
be less chance Of bullets going

The Commissioner said he felt that
each case Of policeman firing at a
prisoner should be judged on it's fner-
its, pointing out that the wisdom of
shooting at a fugitive depends upon
the individual circumstances in each
instance.
