A grand jury on Tuesday returned an eight-count indictment against two law enforcement officers in connection with the 2016 killing of a man shot 76 times during an attempted fugitive arrest in the Atlanta area.
Eric Heinze, an assistant chief inspector with the U.S. Marshal's Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and Kristopher Hutchens, a Clayton County police officer working with the task force, were formally charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, burglary, making false statements and violation of oath by a public officer, news outlets reported.
A medical examiner's report said Jamarion Robinson, 26, was shot 76 times by police on Aug. 5, 2016, when officers tried to enter his girlfriend's apartment. Law enforcement believed Robinson was the man responsible for pointing a gun at Atlanta officers and fleeing, according to authorities.

They would have shot him even more - but they ran out of bullets.
Geez, I could do better than that with one eye tied behind my back….
Statement by Sheriff Grady Judd in Florida would be: they shot him 76 times because that is all the ammo they had. And that would be the end of it.
Check this out before condemning Jamarion.

Excerpts..... According to the video recording, the shooting continued for nearly three minutes.[6][16]
According to an investigator hired by the family, the evidence showed that after killing Robinson, police handcuffed his hands behind his back, dragged his body down the stairs from the second floor to the living room on the lower level
Shot 76 times?????????????
He was shot 59 times, 17 of the wounds were exit wounds...
Well that certianly makes a difference...
How many times did they have to reload?
Ahhhh....Only 59 times....That’s much more normal...
Bang List.
76 Times.
60 shots is the delineation for a reasonable practice.
Did he die on bullet 75?
There is a video of this out there. I remember watching it.
Clear case of suicide.

Unless they were shooting silver bullets this is excessive.
No body cams were worn.
