When the first 75 or so rounds don’t do the job.
Question is, does a human body stand/sit upright after being shot the first 80 or so times? So, is it necessary to keep shooting a slumped body? I don’t know the exact circumstances (filtered through the corrupt MSM) but this seems hard to understand what the police were thinking.
Didn’t say he got hit that many times. “Shot at”
You’re assuming they actually hit him that many times.
This is probably why DHS ordered 500 million rounds..
Review of the 911 call gave the cops every reason in the world to do what they did.
If 10 police officers fire 9 rounds each (4 or 5 seconds), 90 rounds converge rather quickly.
If any of them re-loaded and fired, I’d investigate. Otherwise, it’s suicide by cop.
100 rounds in 5 seconds...

Oh and I want one!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the officers were 40 to 50 feet away from the perp at the time of the shooting. I haven’t seen the video yet, but it’s reasoned to think the officers would fire until the perp went down. If he continued to hold his hands out in a firing stance, I’d still consider him to be a threat.
What would be your take on things if you stopped after firing two shots, and one of your fellow officers was shot dead shortly thereafter? Would his wife and kids be comforted by your efforts to keep the bullet count down?
If the guy demonstrates the behavior this guy did, you take him down. Only ONE PERSON is responsible for what took place. It was the dead perp.
If I ever take a shooting stance against the police in a similar situation, I give them permission up front to take me out.
Yeah, well, there's always the case of Mark Essex - "An autopsy later revealed more than 200 gunshot wounds." -Wiki
Not that Essex didn't have it coming, but...I remember reading in a true crime book that during the hunt, some cops were wounded by ricochets from the amount of rounds that they were pouring into an enclosed area.
