Here's why:
Approximately 150 rounds fired:
Total hits on the "perp": two, minor wounds, most likely ricochets...

But YOU should be limited to 10.
Nanny knows best.
Lots of dogs and innocent bystanders to shoot and so little time.
Governor “Cumo”says nobody needs 10-rounds to kill a deer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... or 7 in New York. Because this sort of thing NEVER HAPPENS in NY.
Good analysis, it should apply to anyone who carries, NOT just the Police Officer.
But YOU should be limited to 10.

How many rounds do I need? Enough to get the job done. It could be 145 rounds or more, since an unknown situation will control my needs.
So he went to 9mm after not getting the job done in short order with a 45ACP? Got it.
I was impressed with the “13 rounds through three holes”.
No one needs more than seven rounds.
Thanks for the post. Would like to read about this later in an “Ayoob File”.
Of course, they were probably really big holes.

Don’t waste time arguing the relative merits of various calibers. No handgun rounds have reliable stopping power with body shots. Pick the round you can shoot best and practice shooting at the suspect’s head.”
Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job?
Because he couldn’t hit his a$$ with both hands.
He’s too lazy to go out and practice. Even a 22Lr has
to much kick for these sorry excuses for LEO’s we have
today.
“I’ve got a horseshoe up my ass when it comes to catching suspects,”
When lead flies, macho just don’t cut it. A little more time
on the range and a lot less time in front of the mirror
perfecting the macho “you talkin to me” pose would be better
than carrying around 145 rounds.
A 1000 rounds is worthless if you can’t shoot.
So we should be allowed to carry five 30-round magazines with our AR-15, when we’re out for a drive or a walk? [Actually, I think we should - the Second Amendment says so.]
Back before the great boating accident of 2010, my philosophy on self-defense in the home was to choose an appropriate caliber and load for home defense, balancing over-penetration against stopping power, and I kept lots of firepower securely in several locations. Nowadays, I just count on 9-1-1. The police response time of 10-60 minutes is not really much slower than 1200 fps, is it?

>Gramins fired back through his windshield, sending a total of 13 rounds tearing through just three holes
I can picture that. After firing two .44 mag rounds through a tempered glass storm door, there was a perfectly round, large hole that froze in place. After checking myself for bullet wounds, the only sensations I had were the ringing in my ears and the taste of burned H110. It was as if time stopped, until the surviving glass suddenly evaporated and the door became a clear window to blue lights and mayhem.
