The man had a knife and at the very least should and could have been wounded instead of killed. A trained professional should know this and as a police officer you know the risk when you take the job.
This is completely wrong!
You do not shoot to wound. This is not the movies.
People don't go flying backwards when they are shot.
If they are determined they keep coming.
A great example of how ineffective pistol rounds are at stopping a threat is Jacksonville PD officer Jared Reston's shooting.
Just wanted to point this out. When your life is threatened you shoot to stop....shooting to wound is stupid.
Note: All of this is for incidents in which lethal force is justified.

I agree with you completely.
That video showed a murder however.

He was walking away.
You can't access a situation and deliver the proper action..?
Rather go the easy way out and just murder anyone in the least of a threat.
How was he a threat when he was walking away, shoot him and see what happens then.. but you don't have to overkill.. he's just one guy and he doesn't have a gun does he?
LOL a knife.. a knife.. what's he going to do.. throw it at your bullet proof vest. It's absolutely overkill and unwarranted
Comparing this to another situation is silly. No 2 situations are EVER the same

and what if this was a mentally challenged kid walking the streets and wasn't able to fully comply..
you going to pump 16 shots into him for not listening?
16 shots still blows my mind.. over a knife?
if it's a bomb or gun he's carrying in his hand i understand the threat.. not a knife.
