Hell yeah. If the guy doesn’t go down keep firing till he does.
oh, sure but that’s a whole other matter. IF there’s an indictment and trial, the costs for witnesses and depositions will be thru the roof.
Some similar comments have been posted many times. Police aren't trained that way. I certainly was never trained that way (shoot to wound). Center of mass center mass until the threat is stopped. Maybe go for a kill shot if you are running out of rounds.
If Brown actually would not stop and charged the officer after seeing the pistol aimed at him, he was either very loaded, or wanted to die...or just so possessed that he didn’t care.
That would fall under rule #1. Which was once again proven in the Michael Brown fight.
The shots were all off to the right side - as though the policeman were trying to only wound Brown to make him stop charging - but he kept coming and taking more shots until he toppled forward and received the fatal shot to the forehead as he went down......
Both should pop through, no problem.
9mm routinely passess through a 4x4 post...hell, I've seen 124gr hollow points pass through a 5inch green tree trunk. In fact one of the old-school gripes on the round is that it pops through too easily...which is a naive perspective.
I think all cops should stay in the car. Especially if they pull me over. ;^)
So the guy must have been huge for no bullets to come out of his back.
