When a handgun is drawn or a shoulder weapon engaged the implication is that deadly force is in play. All marksman training is posited on aiming at the center of mass That means shoot to kill. Self defense against an armed opponent or a presumably armed opponent is a euphemism, at least where I live, for shoot until the other person is dead. Btw wise guy you ever been in no second place winner situation?

The video of the incident. Scroll forward to 17:30.

You have several cops shooting at once over an interval of about 8 seconds. In the dark.

They already all knew he had shot at cops, and it’s dark enough that they can’t be sure of what he might or might not still be holding. And a guy on the ground can still squeeze of a shot and hit a cop.

The teaching moment for the agitators is that the perpetrator had eluded the day before, was armed and had shot at the police. If any agitators feel like they can do the same to the police in the next wave, the Officers should follow their training and stop the problem, with deadly force if necessary. That is the only persuasion that the rioters understand - immediate consequences for their actions.

In March of 2015, Atlantic City police shot a perp 45 times after he emerged from his SUV after leading them on a 10-mile hi-speed chase through four neighborhoods, firing at police as he fled.

They continued firing as long as he held the gun in his hand. Yes, the autopsy showed he was on PCP, and the grand jury ruled it a righteous shoot.

It would surprise me if this guy’s tox screen doesn’t also show PCP.

They fired about 90 and hot 60 him 60 times.
2 out 3 is not bad shooting while on the run.

Shooting in the dark, under stress, yeah that’s acceptable marksmanship.

Well, we Based know how this will play out: every officer will be convicted, even the ones that didn’t fire a shot. But even if they are all found guilty, leftists will STILL riot.

So: BE READY TO SHOOT THE RIOTERS!!!!
