A hulk of a MAN with adrenaline (and drugs?) running through his system comes charging at me? You can bet that I’m going to keep shooting until he’s down.

Agreed.

If you are justified in shooting someone, you should keep shooting until he’s on the ground and immobilized.

Just because the autopsy indicates the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th shot was the “fatal” one does not mean the 5th and/or 6th are not needed at the time.

An important point that I never hear from the media.

From what I gather (and any LEO on FR may can verify) is they are trained to keep shooting until the threat is ‘neutralized’.

I know if I saw that hulk charging at me.....I’d be emptying a clip or two.

Hmmmmmm do I want to fire one shot and hope he stops before he gets to me or do I want to keep firing till he goes down?
