Couldn't have shot her in the leg, fired in the air first, anything but fatal shots?
WE weren't there, so we don't KNOW what actually happened.
But NO to 'shooting in the leg'.
A bullet hits the femoral artery and the suspect dies, the cop is culpable for wrongful death.
Yes, there will be idiots on parade to say nothing will happen to the cop, but that's doesn't happen as often as you want to believe.
A shot misses and somebody is stabbed or there's a ricochet or and somebody else is person is injured injured or killed.
A warning shot?
No, for the same reasons above.
Aim center mass & shoot tokill stop. Otherwise, don't shoot.
Fixed that for you.
'Shoot to kill' is an internet forum trope.
The job is to stop the unlawful use of deadly force.
There is no Judge Dredd taught in police academies, regardless of how much the ignorant and uninitiated want to believe it.
My point was that once the decision is made to shoot, it is shoot to kill.
Still wrong.
If the use of deadly force is appropriate, then it's shoot center mass, and stop the suspect.
Of course there's a risk of the suspect dying, that's why it's called deadly force.
If a cop fails to use his firearm against an armed suspect, an a innocent bystander is injured or killed, he had fail in his duty, and is culpable.
And even if for some reason he wasn't, as in he was following forum wisdom and was waiting to be shot at before drawing his weapon, he's still be sued for wrongful death by the survivor.
but a recent incident resulted in an officer shooting someone... in the leg. TWICE. AFTER he was fired upon.
That cop is either a very bad shot or stupid, but maybe that's typical of Mayberry, RFDPD.
He's lucky the crook wasn't a better shot, and not studly enough to get off more shots that might have killed him or an innocent bystander.
Oh yes, deliberately shoot a suspect in the leg at the suspect fires one or more shots as he falls, and someone else is injured or killed, he and his department are culpable.
And an innocent person is injured ir killed.
that does not mean that jumping in with no thought or assessment is best.
You know that's what happened?
Did you see the video, how 'bout a link.
Columbus Police showed the video a second time in slow motion during Tuesday night's news conference. Woods said the video shows Bryant holding a knife as she pushes two girls. He said police believe she is attempting to stab both girls during the fight...
Body camera footage shows an officer getting out of his patrol car as he responds to a commotion on the driveway of a home.
As he approaches a group of people standing and shouting on the driveway, he asks, "What's going on?" Seconds later Bryant and another girl begin fighting in front of the officer.
Bryant can be seen pushing the girl to the ground. She then approaches a second girl and throws her against a car parked on the driveway. The officer shouts "Get down!" three times, pulls out his gun and shoots in Bryant's direction at least four times and she falls to the ground.
As the officer approaches her, a knife can be seen close to her.
One man standing off to the side on the driveway shouts to the officer, "She's just a kid!"
Yeah, she's just a kid with a knife, what possible harm could she be to anybody.
If that's the case, why were police even called?
How come nobody there intervened, especially Mr. She's Just a Kid.
So are you saying the cop should have deliberated and waited for a definite crime to have occurred, before as you say 'jumping in with no thought or assessment'?
How about waiting for more information before jumping in with no thought or assessment.
Current Occupying Force Police training is 'shoot to kill if you FEEL threatened'.
That's just plain bullsh¡t on so many levels.
I love Val Demings.
