Please explain "dangerous overkill". How was it 'dangerous and how was it 'overkill'?

As I stated EACH cop has to make the decision to shoot or not, they don't have telepathic capabilities or time to discuss among themselves.

In this situation it is quite normal to shoot until empty.

If your loved one was harmed do you think the cops would react with over 100 shots. The cops reacted more like vigilantes than professionals.

Nah. Don't you know that 100 cops wading through thick brush, come across the perp with a gun in his hand are supposed to shoot the gun out of his hand and then negotiate his surrender.

Some of the statements on this thread woud make a wonderful Monty Python script.

I would like to point out that the cops searching those woods the day before had come across a black kid that had snuck out of his high school's lockdown.

And what do you know; he didn't get shot.
