    Let’s pretend the shooting was valid. You are allowed to use reasonable force to stop a threat. That doesn’t mean death, death may happen but the force has to stop once the aggressor is no longer a threat.

    Does anyone think 51 shots are reasonable?

        Sorry it is relevant.

        The academy stresses you are only authorized to use deadly force to stop a threat. You are not authorized under law to kill anyone.

        It’s why we were trained to figure two rounds then evaluate if there was still a threat.

        We were never trained to figure six rounds in a panic because that isn’t stopping a threat. Thats trying to kill someone.

        In court cases you’ll see them evaluate each shot for that reason. I’m all for giving cops reasonable doubt but 51 shots is insane.

        16 I could see. 51 is just stupid.
