Sort of like Rodney King?

No. But to continue firing 14 times AFTER the guy has been dropped is justified by what?

Yeah, sure. Minus the whole beating him senseless after he's been taken down.

This was already covered.

I'm not too worried about the 30 shots. As has been said, once lethal force is justified, that's it. I just have to ask, if tazers aren't the answer here, then what the **** are they for?

Don't know enough to say. Don't know why they couldn't try to taze him first. Just know it is ridiculous to expect an officer to engage an armed man in hand to hand combat when he has other options.

Accuracy count at all, or just closing your eyes and pulling the trigger. I'm an extremely good shot, and have been shooting for over 20 years, I'd say 5 seconds = about 6-8 shots accurately.

Of course if we were both shooting at a knife wielding maniac that number may go up, and accuracy may go down. Even for some as awesome as we are.

How accurate are tasers on a moving target? I presume the little zapper thingy doesn't move at the same velocity as a bullet?

There were two cops over near the bush, and the dead guy moved toward them with a knife in his hand, and was therefore shot.

At the range they were at I could empty 15 shots and be fairly confident I am going to hit on almost every one if not every one.

The cops should have glared at the man and said, "that's not a knife, this is a knife" and then they could have tied their left hand to the man's left hand and had a good old fashion stickin' contest. Real men would have handled it that way....

And you're absolutely incorrect.

They have done numerous studies on the effect of stressors on highly trained marksmen (soldiers, officers, etc...) and have found that marksmanship turns to crap pretty quickly once faced with immediate danger.

You see it all the time in shootouts - nobody hits shit. Very few people have the ability to control their adrenaline in that situation well enough to still be an accurate shot under duress.

**** the police

Donger 08-17-2012 05:20 PM
Huh. He was apparently hit "only" 10 times.
