Could they not have at least shot him in the arm or something? I don't see how 20 times was necessary

[Doormat]

I find that fact really suspicious. Cops are trained to go for a kill shot if necessary. So with 5 or so shots I'd be: "Okay maybe the cop genuinely thought he was a treat." But 20? Come ON! They're using fucking semi automatic pistols. That means at least two or three cops were shooting him. That or the one reloaded and then shot the body some more.

i love the police.

not these ones.

but some of them.

and i appreciate how they keep young white middle class women like me safe.

Also, he was armed...With a hairbrush. Somewhere during the shooting they (cops) should have noticed, "Hey it isn't a gun, it's a comb." But no. Relentless firing squad.

I do have to agree that 20 shots seems excessive.

Shoot to kill.

[garsk]

Shoot to kill.

when have you ever shot to not kill?

[Ruettiger]

When Im making babies, of course.

[Lauren]

i want to be on the receiving end of that gun

[Ruettiger]

Lock and load!

[Ravenous megin-sane]

oh that's uncomfortable

[Ruettiger]

You be quiet, you're next!

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i don't want to bone!

If some guy told me the object hidden under his shirt was a gun adn that he intended to harm me with it, I'd shoot him too. 20 shots is not excessive depending on the number of police involved. Was it dark? Hairbrush my ass, doesn't matter what it was. Perception is everything

 

Always aim for center mass when your very life hangs in the balance. Police officers have shot children who aimed cap guns at them and I don't condemn them for that either. It is easy to judge when you're sitting comfortably at home and not in the dark facing a potentially unstable person who claims to be armed with a deadly weapon.

Im pretty patient.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

you mean gay, right?

[Ruettiger]

Not quite, but close!

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, it's unfortunate what happened, but if you're claiming to have a gun and are threatening violence against anyone, then really, what do you expect to happen?

 

In regards to shooting him in the arm or the leg to disable him, it's not exactly prudent. If drugs are involved, many times an arm or leg shot is not going to be enough to drop an aggressive assailant.

[LonelyWreckage]

So a suicide-by-cop then? Can hardly blame them when he's purposely provoking them.

Ehh, 20 shots would be suspicious from one cop but I imagine the bullets add up from 3 or more.

 

Although, how long before someone claims it was racism? Maybe it was but seriously, after seeing drugged up people get shot 8 times and still walking forward with a knife, I'd have to say that depending on the circumstance (Kid's behaviour demeaner, etc), it probably appeared to be the prudent action.

[borntohula]

Lock and load!

bahahaha that was magic.
