. I don't know. What's the point of having the dog if they aren't going to turn it lose. Seems like when the guy turned on the cop, the other cop should have let the dog go.

well that ended successfully
Over Kill the guy was on the ground turned away from the cops after the first 5 shots he was shot in the back 5 more times for good measure. One stray bullet hit a sign across the street above a ladys head debris fell down injuring her and sendering her to the hospital.
Guy had a crow bar...they didn't want to risk getting the dog hurt...
The guy was turned. The dog would have been inside the radius of the crowbar in a half second and had the guy on the ground.
I realize that's easy for me to say with the beneift of the video replay and not having the threat of getting hit with a crowbar. But it seemed like a good place to free the hounds.
Still...shooting the guy that many times when he's obviously going down. And all he had is a crowbar.
Cop might get in trouble for how many shots he fired, but shooting the guy in the first place was fine. Can't take chances when he's running at a cop.
Right. But he should have first tried to shoot the guy's hand to make him drop the crowbar. Threat would then be mostly neutralized. Then let the dog go and put him down.
I've blamed cops for brutality plenty of times but you can't expect a cop to think it through that much when he's charging another cop with a crow bar. He has to react quickly. The way to avoid this is not charging at cops with a crow bar.
the 2nd burst of 5 rds was from a 2nd police officer. i don't disagree with shooting the guy but 10 rds five of which after that dude was already on the ground turned away from the cops is just ridiculous.
In any case one less bad guy on the streets.
Crowbar guy was a dumbass
You've watched too many old westerns. You can only do that when you are fanning your single action colt revolver.
Whatever. The pistols they are using are much more accurate than the old western guns. They are automatic and are able to be pointed at much smaller increments. Plus the cops are trained for just such situations.

I love comments like "why didn't they shoot the guy's hand..." or "shoot him in the leg." You people clearly watch too many movies. Handguns aren't easy to aim, and much less easy to aim in a situation like that. These guys aren't marksmen from the old west. He attacked them with a crowbar after a taser didn't work. They tried non-lethal means, and he attacked them. And they're told to shoot center mass for a reason. It's the easiest place to hit. When you shoot a gun, you shoot to kill - not neutralize.
If a guy breaks into your house with a crowbar, do you try to shoot the pipe out of his hand, or do you put nine in his chest and ask questions later?
I agree that there are lots of corrupt cops who use excessive force. But, not every cop who fires his weapon is a brute.
Sucks that a guy died. Easy solution...don't be an idiot.
Have you actually fired a gun before? Honestly?
why do you point a gun at someone?
A). to look cool
B). neutralize a threat
C). to kill
It depends. If I'm out with my crew and someone steps to me, I usually just point it to look cool.
If I'm out with my hoe and she gets drunk and mad at me, I usually point it to neutralize the threat.
If a cop is running at me with a crowbar, I point to kill. But I alternate rounds between glasers and hollow points to make as much of a mess as possible.
You make the decision to shoot, you better be going for the kill. Otherwise that crowbar is going to be cracking your ing skull.
Yes. I actually own a Beretta 17 and a shotgun.
Don't wanna say they guy deserved it, but I cant blame the cops on this one. If I have a gun and you are running at me with a crowbar then yeah, ima probably shoot ya.
Cops kill for much less. The idiot was a goner from the start.
The only funny part is the the news reports are saying the cop said the perp swung the bar at him twice before opening fire.@ cops lying even when they're in the right.
Cops are trained to aim for center mass to neutralize the threat as quickly as possible. You're confusing TJ Hooker with reality.
LOL. TJ Hooker.
But really, they are trained to determine the best target and hit it. In this case, it would have been the guy's left hand.
all three ur gangsta!
