30 shots. 30?
Are you out of your mind? ANY soldier or Marine with few month’s training doesn’t rounds like that on one adversary. This is an astounding reaction from supposedly well-trained peace officers working around citizen bystanders.
More like cowardice.
I was an enlisted Marine, I know about controlled fire on target. This is not in the open combat. It is a closed and small area and when the criminal opens fire and moves in a threatening manner you fire until the criminal is down. It is split second with little time to change what comes from automated muscle memory once the actions are started. They seem to have reacted appropriately. This isn’t a scripted TV show it’s real life. Three police firing an average of 10 rounds apiece in a two to three second period to neutralize a threat. Doesn’t sound like cowardice to me. In this case, go find another soapbox.
