I know no reason why.“

I’m pro cop. Tend to give them the benefit of the doubt in confrontations.
But, this one is difficult. Even assuming the guy was carrying a knife why was it necessary to put seven rounds in him? Just when things seem to be smoothing out some idiot does something stupid like this.

Huh? Maybe I'm missing something here. There appears to be a compelling reason all 3 drew their weapons in the first place.

Would you rather the cop wait to see what he was reaching for in the vehicle?

Stupid is strong here today!

You’ve never had military combat training, have you? I was taught that if you face a mortal threat you keep firing until the threat is neutralized. If that means emptying your magazine into the threat, you do it.
