Im not faulting the cop, though if he had allowed a round to go downrange that resulted in a civilian casualty, we would be looking at this very differently.
Then I would sincerely be interested in who/where such training exists. I dont doubt that it does somewhere. I do doubt that 99% of police officers are trained for that. But then the average Joe having spent 4 days at Front Sight, Gun Sight, or any other shooting school is better trained than most cops.
“Kay County District Attorney Brian Hermanson recused himself from the case and the OSBI [Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation] issued its findings to Stephens County District Attorney Jason Hicks for review. Hicks submitted the evidence to the multi-county grand jury.”

I agree with you on all the situations you cited.
Remember the old Westerns where the ‘good guy’ would be riding through a canyon at full gallop, while ‘bad guys’ with rifles would be lining the canyon walls and couldn’t hit Schiff, while the Sheriff - at full gallop - is picking them off with his SIX shooters....
(I wonder if the old western 300 shot 6 shooter will be outlawed in the new gun legislation)
“Hicks also expressed his gratitude for the multiple law enforcement agencies that were involved in the immediate aftermath of the shooting as well as in the ongoing investigation. Among those agencies were the Duncan Police Department, Stephens County Sheriff’s Office, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, members of the District 6 Violent Crime Investigators, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.”

“DUNCAN, Okla. — The Latest on a shooting at a Walmart in Duncan, Oklahoma (all times local):
2:30 p.m.
Authorities in Oklahoma are emphasizing that the investigation into a fatal shooting outside a Walmart is preliminary, but that it was an “isolated incident.”
Stephens County District Attorney Jason Hicks said during a press conference that there was never an active shooter Monday inside the Walmart in Duncan. The shooting that left three dead, including the shooter, happened in the store parking lot.”

I swear juries are getting increasingly stupid.
How many rounds did you use last time you had a running gunfight at 3 am?
Liberals won’t admit it but by their actions they are anti-police and anti-soldier. Unless you Vindman or Manning, they hate you.
How about a bazooka or an RPG or a flame thrower. Maybe that would help with law enforcement. Howitzers? Wouldn’t that be enough?
“Imminently dangerous conduct” toward the active shooter? You gotta be kidding! It was meant to be dangerous. It was meant to stop her. By that standard he would have had to let her go on shooting at people.
Oklahoma Officer Indicted for Murder in Killing of Active Shooter
This isn't an isolated incident. There's a war on LE and the law-abiding public going on in OK.
Or they know things that you don’t.
They live in the community, and operate with a broader knowledge of the officer.
Sometimes justice catches up with people who seemed to be above the law.
I’ll wait to see what shakes out.
9 rounds. What point were you trying to make? Thanks.
Even the title is false.
Everything I’d expect from the boys in blue.
That's the point, the Left wants to discourage good people from joining.
Can Trump pardon him now? That would save the taxpayers a bunch of money. And the Lt a bunch of headaches.
potus can only pardon for federal crimes state crimes the governor has the power
Like the Oklahoma judge who had a "suction device" under his bench, and would connect up, during trials, and get a distant look that the attorneys would politely ignore?
Like the Oklahoma deputy who arrested an EMT driver at an accident site, because the EMT arrived with his siren on, and it annoyed the deputy? (He was the FOP rep, and the FOP tried to say he was justified.)
Oklahoma has more than it's share of Deputy Barneys.
