Why would the cops shoot below the hips? Something does not seem right here. I can’t ever recall when someone did this and Police shot only “twice” and below the waste?

Must not have wanted to waste him.

Some one will be along in the MSM to paint him as a Tea
Partier any moment now.

Cops, all over the country, have been given orders to avoid escalating the situation with the protesters.

That’s probably why they didn’t shoot to kill.

"The gunman walked onto the metal catwalk that crosses the park fountains when an officer on a bike fired several shots, two of which hit the gunman below the waist."

Assuming the "catwalk" was above street level, shots under stress hitting "below the belt" seems reasonable to me; and 2 hits out of several ... well, it is what it is.

The real take from this story IMHO is that this occupy crap has to end, its gone way to far.

As I read it he was on a catwalk when shot, so I believe the shots went over the waste.

“shot only “twice” and below the waste?”

Waste? Bwaahahaha

You aim low to be sure that the rounds that you miss with hit the ground. If there was a crowd, it is a good technique to avoid killing bystanders.

I used to instruct my guards to aim low, but to keep shooting until the threat was neutralized.

Maybe they were trying to “Darwin Award” him.

Lack of range time?
