Originally posted by JimL View PostI agree, there is no need to put 18 bullets into a suspect after one or two bullets has already killed him and certainly has incapacitated them. So often it is reported suspect shot by police 16, 17, 18 times. It's simply target practice at that point.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI don't think it's ever "target practice". I think, too often, there are multiple officers covering the scene, and they individually perceive a threat and respond - there's not time to say "ok, officer Wilson, you take the shot, and the rest of us will stand here and wait to see if you stop the guy". Better training is needed - in a SWAT situation, there's much more control, with a police sniper given a green light when appropriate to "take the shot".

It was South Carolina, and the guy is no longer a cop - he's serving time for murder.
As promised, I hereby condemn this outrageous abuse of power by an ex-police officer. It was not, however, "target practice".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
