re: Minneapolis police body cam of shooting

Once the guy pulls the gun "just in case" is reason enough to keep shooting. Idiot.

I see no problem here. Dude was being chased by police and pulled a gun. Case closed

I can only speak as a person that's never been in this type of situation. So heck for all i know if i were, i'd probably be popping off shot because i wouldn't want to get shot.

Just bringing a different thought into the conversation.

As far as oh boy ditching his gun for a taser...yeah, idk. He somewhat or really set himself up for failure with that one. Either way, as someone who hasn't been in that situation, I can only say 6+ shots is a lot

Go watch some videos of dudes on bath salts. They get shot 10+ times and still go after the shooters.

He's on the ground for a split second, so you don't fire off 2 or 3 more. He manages to quickly point and shoot, shoots and kills you. Is it worth that risk for a guy who is trying to kill you?

And you're right. But its really hypothetical. Like oh girl said, "you shot to kill". And if thats the case for cop training, which i seemingly have doubt but im not a cop nor have i dont the training, then is what it is.

Plus, i'm sure if i were in that situation as anyone else, would probably do the same. All i said was it seemed excessive.

I'm not a girl. 0-3 in this thread.

Although I honestly thought you were since you rationalize with your emotions and not logic.

So you don't know the training, haven't done the training but think if you were in the situation you would probably do the same yet think it's excessive?

I don't take your stupidity personal, darling.

Whatever you say sugar tits. It's called bringing a different insight into the convo. Some get it, other DAs don't

Not tryin to step on my own toes with what i said but as far as training goes maybe that is what's thought. Whoever is a cop in this thread can enlighten us on that. Or whoever has taken the training.

When i saw the video and saw him go down and shots were still being popped off. It comes off excessive IMO. Like someone said earlier, you're in a tense situation like that and see someone else with a gun willing to possibly use it against you, you're thinking "Better him than me" at the time when you pull the trigger.

I see someone go down after two or three shots, its worth thinking "I got this guy". 3+ more shots after that, idk. But thats just what im thinking 'a-loud' given the fact that he's already down. But like it was stated, dude could roll over and pull one off.

You're one of those people that like to talk just to talk, huh. You are talking in circles and it's making you sound like an idiot.

He has reverted to defending his dumb comments by claiming they at least further the conversation. It doesn't matter that they aren't valid and ignore facts.
