When you get attacked/shot I think the natural reaction is to clutch/tighten your muscles rather than go limp and drop things. Training seems to ignore normal human reactions.Originally Posted by DRK Star
Again, they are trained to shoot until the person is no longer a threat. He never dropped the knife. I've addressed this multiple times already and would (rightfully so) be considered a douche if I rehashed it.
"Again, they are trained to shoot until the person is no longer a threat. He never dropped the knife."
Great point with a huge flaw in you reasoning. HE NEVER DROPPED THE KNIFE. Then why did the other cop have to stop him when he tried to reload? It had only been a few seconds and HE WAS STILL HOLDING THE KNIFE and he was STILL a THREAT according to you. The officer should have been allowed to reload and shoot him 16 more times as he was still holding the knife and was a threat. Correct?
Nothing changed between bullet 3 and 16 according to your sources -- he was still a threat -- so why didn't they keep shooting after that?
