The problem with human beings is that there's a big gap inbetween the amount of damage that will prove fatal eventually and the amount of damage that will make you not a threat right now. If you blow a guy's heart right out of his chest he'll be clinicily dead with no brain waves and no voluntary muscular action in just a couple of seconds, problem is it only takes a couple of seconds to aim and fire so he still poses a threat to you for those couple of seconds. That's why the rule of thumb is to double tap the 10, as long as the person is still moving like they're trying to aim and shoot you're still defending yourself by continuing to plug them.

Regardless, the guy got shot eight times for drunk driving (and sheer stupidity). I'm not going to join Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and all the other minstrels of black hate in protest, but I'm not going to applaud the cops either. Anytime anyone kills an unarmed man, it should be questioned vigorously.
