Jim Cirillo was a member of a unit that killed more people than any other. He had 17 confirmed kills himself. He killed those men in violent store and business robberies. Not in a residence. They used unauthorized weapons and ammunition. And there is NO WAY he or ANY other cop not wearing high level SWAT type body armor would let somebody shoot them because they were wearing body armor. That’s just a dumb statement. Peter Figoski was identified initially because he was an old timer still carrying a revolver. He had been shot point blank in the face. The unit was disbanded due to cirillo’s body count. Not that I disagree with their results. But using cirillo as an example is not the best. He was a gunfighter in a time of gunfights being common.
