Wrong. The perp showed a gun (remember he had killed already), there were 10 cops there and 9 fired. We're they supposed to discuss who was to fire so that only the required (in your eyes) number of shots were fired? Or should the have drawn straws? SHEESH!

I don't really give a rat's tail about the perp; like I said, he needed to die. But I was responding to the guy who said this was dangerous overkill, and I agree with him. Maybe it was the STUPID statement the cop made that "if we had more bullets we'd have shot him more", (paraphrase). You can't blame them for wanting the guy dead, but he was dead long before the last 60+ bullets ripped through his body, and statements like the one the cop made reveal a dangerous mentality.

Why shoot, that's only a bit over 12 rounds per shooter, not even a full magazine. And only about 7 1/2 hits per shooter too.
