    The people that complain about the difference between 4 or 7 shots are the same type of people that complain about not shooting the leg or firing warning shots on the porch.

    Maybe he should have been a purple belt in Brazilian Jujitsu, maybe he should have pressed the gun to the perps head and fired once, or maybe if you are reduced down the complaining about the difference of a couple shots in a police shooting then there is really not much to complain about.

    It would have been excessive if he had mag dumped, paused for a reload, and then continued.

    You would be surprised at how casually people can take 7 shots at point blank range, see below (warning death):

    They followed the the escalation of force, 7 shots in quick succession, no one else hurt

    Thanks to tv we idolize cops and doctors way more than we should

    Most cops are not sharp shooting guys that can take a perp down with one punch or shoot the gun out of his hand

    A cop that is weaker than the alleged perp is danger to them both. That seems to be the common thread to me

    As someone who has worked with doctors for years, many PCPs have no idea what they are doing and it really isn’t their fault. It’s a universe of potential diseases. They are the @HHusky of the medical world except they aren’t scamming people and they mean well, but many literally make an initial diagnosis based off of WebMD and if it’s serious they send the patient to a specialist who knows what they’re doing. I knew much more about asthma and COPD than any PCP I ever encountered and they appreciated good discussions about them.

    I was also making more money each year than most Primary Care Providers (PCPs) which was a joke considering how they were helping people and I was selling, thankfully, a truly revolutionary medication of which there was no generic option.

    Handguns are ineffective weapons. They do not always work well at stopping people. They carried as they are portable. Long guns work better but are to hard to carry. Some people just aren't impressed with being shot and they will still try and kill you. Ask the FBI from the Miami shootout in the 80's.
