A cop is trained to keep shooting until the threat is completely disabled.

Watch the video. The guy was still upright even after all those shots were fired.

I’ve watched several such videos and noticed how it’s not like in the movies where one shot and the bad guy crumples over.

Sometimes the more drugged-up perps seem almost inhuman (as in zombified) for a few moments - they just keep comin’.

Police are trained to de esculate the situation.

“A cop is trained to keep shooting until the threat is completely disabled.”

That is exactly what I’m talking about. That kind of extreme training is wrong, a product of modern safety culture. Cops are well paid to protect citizens, and sometimes that involves risks on their part. But those risks cannot be mitigated in a way that makes everyone else less safe.
