You have officers who pumped 96 shorts into this guy and you are trying to assess the performance of your colleagues as to whether their use of force was necessary , reasonable and proportional. One cop alone fired fifty shots into Reed and now moves on to his next encounter with the public .
This is not good.
Does your opinion change if what another person said, that he didn't fire just one shot, but possibly as many as seventeen, is true?
I haven't watched the video, but if the dead guy fired at police seventeen times, that was a gunfight. You keep sending rounds towards the threat until it is no longer a threat. Seventeen times he fired on police. If true, their response was reasonable.

Yes, it could change the assessment if Reed fired a bunch of times, because it would show he was still alive and dangerous, instead of, as someone said "hamburger meat" .
Another thing that could change the assessment is the range from which the officer discharged fifty rounds and the accuracy of all of the officers. The issue is reasonableness, necessity and proportionality. If they would not subdue him with 96 rounds from that close, there is another training /performance deficiency you need to be concerned with...
