Shot sooner and pissed him off. Inevitably leading to a situation where real bullets are still needed. It also adds complexity to changing magazines etc. just shut up idiot.

Man what took other officers so long to get there? Surprised they didn’t tase him on the hill somewhere. Many more officer involved shootings are like this then anything else.

You moron, the officer might have shot sooner with rubber bullets.


You truly are a retard here. The officer is supposed to keep a separate magazine for just rubber bullets? A second firearm? The cop is supposed to switch weapons or remember which magazines have which bullets while being rushed? Amazing how these threads bring out the simpletons.

Because there are no options other than all bullets or all rubber bullets.

You sound like a try-hard idiot.

Sure, there’s another option. It’s called comply.

If he was black they wouldn't have waited so long to shoot him.

You think they are going to mix the ammo in the magazines? Supposed to remember if the first shot(s) are rubber or jacketed lead?

I mean, you saw the guy get up after he already had at least 2 or 3 real bullets in him, right?

Poor police work by cop that got choked. (as far as putting his gun away too soon). He tried best to talk guy out of it before which was good.

Are you supposed to retreat as much as they did?

You really do sound simple-minded, but it seems like you've clearly thought through all the possible options.


What if... ONE cop started with rubber bullets...
What if... they adjusted their strategy for rubber bullets...



But you can join the OT tough guy club if that's worth anything to you.

That is why they are training to shoot till the threat is neutralized., Emptying the damn mag on this dude would have been correct given what happened after he took 4 or 5.

How far away do you think tasers can shoot? You expect a cop to risk his life by getting within 20 feet of a guy coming at them with a deadly weapon (knife in this case) to try to stop him by using a taser?

Once you are justified to shoot once, you are justified to shoot 100 times. Anybody who throws a fit because an officer shoots too many times is the dumbest of the dumb. If you fire one round it is with the intention to kill them. So whether it takes one to do the job or 50, it's all the same thing.

the second officer likely saved his arse after the guy got him.





The second officer almost got the first guy killed while trying to tase the guy


ETA: kudos to the officer #2. He did save #1’s live after all

I can’t believe dumbasses really think cops should shoot to wound. So fckn easy to say when you aren’t the one dealing with rabid animals on a daily basis.
