Back around four months ago in Germany....some nutcase came out and threaten some folks on the street with a knife. German cops arrive...give some brief warning....fire one shot and that took the guy down.
After that, there was a commentary that over an entire year within Germany....in performance of duties, cops fire roughly 80-to-100 rounds total (in an entire year, in a country of 81-million people). That’s it. While they don’t show a lot of statistics over the topic....generally, the cops in Germany get enough practice that they don’t need twenty rounds to take down some guy.
If the cops needed in this case....68 rounds to take down the guy...he must have been mighty powerful to keep going forward and need more rounds to take him down.
They should have used hand grenades and bazookas too.
State Cop shot a 400 pound biker in Massachusetts seven times with a police .38, and he didn’t go down. Meth’ll do that.
They wanted to make sure that a "jury of his peers" would not decide that killing a cop was "justifiable homicide".
Cute that you want to make a statement critical of the actions of the police regarding this incident. In my view their response was not surprising at all, and had they been under my supervision they would have been commended for assuring that the scumbag was definitely DEAD.
