No, his name is Ryan. Definitely not a female. Stephanie was another policewoman on the scene, not the shooter.

I favor just hitting him with the car. No knife danger and tipping the thing over with the cruiser will solve that problem quite nicely.

This was the 70s - few departments were using hollowpoints and revolvers were the order of the day, firing wadcutters or FMJ.

Now ah, when I say “Stop!” don’t you risk your life
When I say “Freeze!” just ah, drop your knife
Or I’ll shoot the Hoveround, I declare “Blast the Hoveround!”
Yeah plug the Hoveround...
Every cop’s a shootin’ Hoverounds!

I normally take the cops side in these kinds of situations but can’t here. Makes me wonder if this was a new on the job cop because your well trained cops don’t want to be cops anymore.

The way it was written is confusing. The other gal cop part was irrelevant....................

I can see 7 or 8 shots into the back of scooter guy, but 9? What kind of people are they hiring?

Diversity hire? "They issued me a 9mm. That means I shoot 9 times, right?"

This is just insanity, all of it.

The dumb ass on the scooter, the dumb ass cop, the dumb ass social justice warriors, Soros Attorneys General, and BLM racists who don’t want crimes prosecuted...everything.

I swear. I just don’t know what is going on any more in this country. It is as if everyone has collectively lost their minds. Which is what the Left wants.

My first thought was like yours, to use a car.

9 shots in the back of a scooter guy....

Cop is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Cop is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Involuntary? You mean he didn't know he was shooting him? Some form of murder would be the appropriate charge.

Right you are. We will never know what scooter guy was thinking (he was a convicted felon, by the way). But maybe he was motivated by the stories about looters not being prosecuted, or even arrested.

Nine shots?

Perhaps the first 8 were warning shots...that went astray?

I would guess you are 100% right there. He was seeing these snatch and grab videos being shown on the news or Internet, and decided he was missing out.

I worked in one of the largest retail stores in the world in the 70’s. We were told to fire a warning shot in the back of the perp’s head.

I assumed they were kidding.

In many cases, they actually weren’t.

“I meant to fire a warning shot but it accidentally hit him in the back of the head!” is what they wanted you to say.

Diversity hire?

Because a white guy cop would never, ever do something like this?
