I heard over 50 rounds fired - doesn't anyone check during re-loads to see what is the status of the target?

Wow! I didn't hear that. That is overkill for sure! You shoot to incapicitate, not mutilate.

They were firing at an automobile - if it's still coming at them, it's still a target.

That would require them to open their eyes during the engagement. I don't believe that's taught in the six hours or whatever of gun training that the NYPD gives its troopies.

A few years ago they shot a haitian guy when they saw him reach for something (turned out to be the walled with the ID they'd demanded of him). Three cops, fifty-something rounds fired. (One cop only fired a single shot). Like this incident, most of the rounds went any which way.

You know, if some dude is trying to run you over with a vehicle, it's pretty trivial to get out of his way and get his license number.

I'm glad to know that strip bars, like donut shops, are assured of police protection 24/7. No doubt they will say they were staking it out. Uh-huh.

d.o.l.

Well, first divide that number by the number of cops shooting - maybe that IS when they stopped to reload.
