Living in Florida on and off for over thirty years now, this outcome was 100% predictable. If you kill a cop here, they will kill you. Period. "He was shot trying to escape", or, "he brandished a weapon". Never mind those powder burns all over his shirt.

Not that this guy didn't deserve to die -- he did, and I'm glad he's now worm's food. Years ago, when the cops carried revolvers, the perp would be hit "several" times. Now that police are all carrying semiautos or subguns, well, they just dump the whole magazine into you, or as much as they can get on target, anyway.

This de facto standard in the behavior of the authorities, for better or for worse, gives real-life credence to the adage,"The first one will cost you your life -- the rest are free."

“That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Nothing wrong with this except that about 1/3 of the shots fired missed him.

Hmmm...they must've run out of ammo.
