Really? Why stop with shooting him in the leg? Couldn’t he have shot the weapon out of his hands? Maybe he could have shot the blade off the scythe! SMDH...
This guy’s partner failed. He is the one who should have taken the shot. The deputy was one step away from a possibly fatal blow, and had to twist around to take a shot while running!
The kid evidently had some psychological problems, no doubt there.And legally this was a good shoot. And yes, training tells officers if they have to shoot, you go after center mass. I am sure this officer will be haunted for years about killing a kid, however, if you don’t like the smell of garbage, why work as a trash man..... Why would anyone want to be a policeman in todays world.
