Some reports say over 125 rounds were fired at this guy.

I think he was possibly holding his cell out, videoing the cops while talking to 911.

That should be an interesting 911 call when made public.

Maybe he was hurrying to buy skittles before the store closed.

Muzzies love the number 19.

I wonder if this Muzzie got his 72 virgins for doing his jihad against the American infidels?

Arian responded with expletives and warned that the police are “going to get hurt.”

Trying to give a damn....

Nope.

When the first 75 or so rounds don’t do the job.

Question is, does a human body stand/sit upright after being shot the first 80 or so times? So, is it necessary to keep shooting a slumped body? I don’t know the exact circumstances (filtered through the corrupt MSM) but this seems hard to understand what the police were thinking.

Sometimes there just are not enough bullets. This was not one of those unfortunate times.

The guy does seem like he may have been a mental case or on drugs, and if reports are to be believed (corrupt MSM) then their was certainly justification to take this guy down. I just get a kick out of the officers emptying magazine after magazine into a lifeless body on the ground. 125 shots fired at the guy? Hard not to laugh at such a movie-like scene.

This reminds me of the old Italian Army jokes. How was mousilini kiled? he was killed by a single bullet fired by 70 Italian marksmen.

90 to 125 bullets fired and they have to wonder is others were endangered by stray bullets. The LAPD should have to attend hispanic gang book camps and study up on drive by shootings.

A clear-cut case of suicide-by-cop.

You can't blame the cops for this one.

Folks, as someone as who as been in few high speed pursuits, I would like to share some of the insights of such.

Your heartrate is well above two hundred beats during these things, and it’s not a gradual increase. It’s one second you are at your sitting heart rate and then you are at sprinting rate.

You become enraged because this guy is fleeing a crime that he just committed and putting you and every other person on the road at deadly risk. Just to flee responsibility for something he did.

Pursuits almost always end in a wreck, and adrenaline dump gives the suspect the ability to climb out of a vehicle crash that would have killed a normal person. They always proceed to run, leap fences, sometimes fight, etc, with amazing strength and endurance. But they very rarely give up, and many times when they do get cornered in the car and cannot escape, the reach for something in an apparent attempt to intimidate the officers into backing off.

It never works and they die in a hail of bullets.

Now, ask yourselves how well you would fare with accuracy after an extended vehicle pursuit, where your emotions are white hot, your heart rate is above 220 bpm, and you had to run after a suspect after he bailed?

Your rounds would be all over the place too.

Obviously they missed with the first 89 shots.

It happens at those distances.

I completely disagree with the LAPD. This was in no way “tragic”. This was a violent criminal, putting civilian and police lives in serious jeopardy. He obviously *wanted* to be killed by the police, as demonstrated by his actions. And the police did their job, which they were hired to do and paid to do, in keeping the public safer by stopping such berserkers.

A “tragedy” would have been if he had harmed police or other innocent persons by his actions. A lesser tragedy were he to have destroyed the property of others who would be hard pressed to replace what he destroyed, perhaps costing them their livelihood. An “annoyance” were he, by his actions, to block travelers on public thoroughfares or cost the public money again, by his vandalism.

That the police shot at him 90 times to end his rampage is not “tragic”, but it does demonstrate that they need to improve their shooting skills.

A while back a sheriff in the central Florida area told a liberal bleeding heart reporter this:
A scum bag shot and killed one of his deputies then ran off into the woods and was hiding in a gopher hole. Several deputies went in the woods looking for him When they found him he wouldn't come out of the hole. They shot him 60 or 70 times. The reporter asked why they shot him 60 or 70 times. The sheriff said: We ran out of bullets. . . . . . . .

If I were one of the people caught in that traffic jam I would want to pump 10 or 20 rounds into his dead body.

Holding an object in your hands like you might hold a gun, will get you just as dead as if you really had a gun.
