That is NOT their job to worry about him living thru it. They have to ELIMINATE the threat, which means he goes down before he gets into that store.

that’s not good police work.



That was GREAT police work. They eliminated the threat to those in the store. The perp made his decision to disregard commands and came WAY TOO close to being a deadly threat to those innocents in that store. Please do some training scenarios and you will have DRASTICALLY different perspective.

Kinda hilarious they use MLK quotes. If MLK were alive today he would be moderate compared to these loonies

You watch too much TV. If the rounds didn't sever his spine he is not going to go down that quickly. If they let that guy into that store it would have been terrible police work.

how do you know this? I watch enough police killings to know what happens when someone is shot.

You have no idea how many officers actually fired. The perp may have done something that their training told them now is the time to shoot, so they all reacted nearly simultaneously.

If I’m an officer in that situation I’m not firing one round and then waiting to see what happens. You fire until the threat is gone.

bullshite and you know it. Once it escalates to deadly force, the objective is the same. Eliminate the threat.

Yes because tv cops are the bastions of not using excessive force

Once upon a time, I forget where it was, a guy killed a cop and seriously wounded another, and went on the run.

Police tracked him to a wooded area, and knew he was armed and willing to kill officers. They managed to find him hunkered down behind a couple downed trees. They gave him commands twice to get rid of the gun and come out. He chose not to do that.

There were 20 or so officers around him. The head man gave the order to open fire when the guy got up over the trees. They shot something like 200+ rounds at him. Of course, he didn't make it.

When asked why his men shot so much, the Sheriff said, "Because that's all the rounds they had."

That is correct LC. People on here are Monday a.m. quarterbacking and have no real life experience doing this. This stuff moves FAST !!! They are to eliminate the threat. He was a threat until he was down on the ground. If each of the officers had to fire 3 times, so be it. They kept him from getting inside of that store when nothing else worked. The perp made his choice and they acted according to their duty.
