The cops didn't have to blaze away at this kid. Perhaps a well placed shot to the hip or leg.

????

cops are trained to shoot to kill and are not allowed by department regulations to purposely try to wound a perp...and rightly so

that being said, the PD in Ogden, Utah should look at this cop for training their cops after 6 of theirs got shot(1 killed) overnight and they only just wounded the perp.

Really? So tasers, shotgun shells with bean bag rounds, CS gas, dogs, flash bang grenades could not have been deployed?

Swat teams have advanced Kevlar body armor, shields and the latest non-lethal weaponry.

Evacuate the area, corner the kid.

I dunno, perhaps they opened fire after the kid popped off a few rounds....oh, wait, he couldn't have.

This is buII$4it. They did not have to kill’em. Come on.
