re: Good footage of perp getting what he deserved, from multiple angles

Man that’s a lot of wild shooting with zero regard for what’s down range.

Found the criminal

Back the badge

Not a good idea:

Argument could be made that putting a bullet or two into him was acceptable risk to the innocent based upon the situation, but continuing to fire bullets into him while he was on the ground continued to jeopardize the public.

It can also be argued that the public caused this problem.

Cops are lucky they didn't kill their own K-9.

Yeah, Spike pulled up when homey went down. Ain't no fun biting dead meat.

well look here, Robocop, whenever you feel you can do it better while under fire (or the threat of fire) you go ahead and go join the PD. I'm sure they'd love to have someone with your ability. You obviously would perform better while taking fire from a fleeing perp. Let us know how it goes.

I have no problem with them shooting him in that situation but I do have a problem with the countless shots after he's already down and not moving. Really? I mean, he deserved what he got but at what point does it stop being a life or death situation for the officers?

You didn't watch the video very closely. He was still moving. And his gun was within reach.

When the subject is no longer moving and does not have access to his weapon.

You have no idea what the adrenaline rush is for that perp that was shot. Watch the video, after all the shots, he's still moving, as his adrenaline is skyrocketing.

These people saying shoot twice and hope? No way. They're trained to shoot until the threat is no longer. A guy shot, still moving, with a gun within reach of his hand, still poses a threat.

Cops and concealed carry civilians are now trained to shoot and shoot and shoot until the threat is stopped. That’s explicitly stated in the video.

I don’t know how many lives this saves, but I know it leads to a guaranteed death for anyone that pulls a gun on a cop, no matter how likely/able that person is to be able to do any damage with said gun after being first shot.

As far as how many lives it saves, I’d like to know how many times, prior to this training paradigm coming into practice, a cop or bystander was shot by someone who was already down on the ground from being shot by police.
Like were there a lot of criminals getting shot, falling down, dropping their pistol, and then able to pick it up and kill the cops surrounding them?

I can't tell if Meredith smoked that dude in the face at the end or not. He definitely came pretty close.

I don't think it was excessive but definitely lucky those cops didn't hit each other crossing into one another's line of fire. Was a bit worried about the dog because in one of the shots he lays down/rolls over, but I think he was just following a command.
