    They are now rioting in Utah of all places because aguy who had a gun and had just engaged in a armed robbery was running away from the police and refusing to drop his weapon. If you watch the video the piece of shit should have been shot much earlier. They yell at him to drop his weapon numerous times.

    Are we now at the point that armed criminals can't be shot even when they are refusing to drop their weapons? Who the fuck would ever want to be a cop?

    I agree with you, but 34 rounds? Seems excessive.
    I always find the "you killed him too much" complaint the funniest!

    So are we at the point where if a guy commits armed robbery but then runs, the cops are just supposed to say, “well...he’s running with a gun but his back is pointed towards us now, so I guess we just have to let him go.”

    Fuck everything.

    You keep shooting until the target stops moving. They shouldn't have to risk their lives just because the left might believe the number of rounds shot might be excessive. You commit an armed robbery and then run away from the cops with a gun, refuse to comply with the repeated requests to drop your weapon (intentionally, because he does drop his weapon a couple of times unintentionally, and then proceeds to pick it back up) bad things should happen to you.
    Generally agree, but still seems like a lot of lead. If for no other reason, stop shooting when the perp is a pile of red goo and save some bullets for the budget.
    What's the proper number of rounds that should be fired in this situation?
    If you are making contact, a clip at most. So 10 or less.
    Clip held 17 rounds. Two empties clips, 34 rounds. Math
    Yes, sorry I'm in California, so ten rounds.

    I'm just saying in the world we live in it's an issue

    But I'm not the one in that situation with adrenaline flowing and a dangerous perp

    Enough to make him dead, which shouldn't require 34 unless the cop is a shitty shot. Maybe that's the issue.

    I'm thinking, like, something south of 15? Sound reasonable?
    Each cop shot two more rounds than you believe is "reasonable." I guess in all the excitement, they kind of lost track of the reasonable number of shots they should have been firing.

    34 rounds and they only hit him 13 to 15 times and of those how many were fatal?

    Training says "shoot them until they stop doing whatever it was they were doing that caused you to shoot them"

    Preferably if 2 to the upper chest doesn't put them down shoot them in the head. Could be wearing body armor.

    Hurts @89ute by the way

    I liked the cops in this one all along, rather easily.

    A group 200 protested. As soon as a window was broken the billy clubs came out and the protest was put to an end.

    Red states matter.

    I didn't know that any of my Latino bros lived in Utah. Da fuck are they doing there in the first place?
