multiple shots fired I read???

I'd like to no how many??? should the cops have not slowly escalated this abit more.

bean bags, tasers, ok, non lethal , them move up to multiple shots? not like he had a hostage at knife point here.

I would think that after the bean bags and taser failed (and not knowing why they did not all charge him at once, clubs swing) why did they not try to place one shot in the leg? ok, it dont bring him down, then try one more at the leg. You would always have the option to fire more, if the man with two shot legs still tries to run for it.

this looks to me if there was a large number of shots fired it could have been a choice by the cops to become executioners rather than defenders of the public (and the man was a member of the public, regardless of his mental condition or drugs if any)

There should have been one shot to the leg as the next step. it was not like this was a fleeing killer or anything, just one guy who was having a bad day, he should not be executed for that. that's what a large number of multiple shots would mean. untrained or not brave cops, not knowing how to control their fire? need more details until I call the cops justifed. If they were trying to hit him to kill him, they should be charged with murder in some cases
