Police Shoot Man 46 Times in 5 Seconds

[Dezcaban]

They do have self-preservation, maybe people with proper training are smart enough to shoot once?

and they'd still get stuff on for police brutality.

They wouldn't get this much stuff if they hadn't shot a man 46 times.

If each of them shot him once, they'd get stuff on for shooting him 5 times. If each of them shot him 3 times, there would be a story about how he got shot 15 times for no reason.

Implying more than one officer is required to sucsessfully disable a person.

Intimidation factor and backup.

No you probably wouldn't. It would be self-defense.

There are many cases recorded where a person goes to jail or prison for self defense.

Its harder to prove its a self defense when your are a civilian. A cop can say "Oh he had a knife and was 20 feet away so i shot him"

A cop can say "Oh he had a knife and was 20 feet away so i shot him"

probably because they've read the rule book plenty of times and taken and passed a test on it.

So they read a rule book.

That makes them exempt from punishment?

Therefore school children can bully and bring guns on the bus!

Oh trust me, there was probably a long painful investigation and some consequences that came with the media kicking up a big stuff.

But they didnt go to prison.

Being asked alot of questions =/= Prison

lol no
a guy walking towards you with a knife does not mean you can kill him in 'self-defense', it only applies when you are threatened, like the guy trying to stab you, in which doesn't occur in this case

[HellHound]

Civilian brutality!

[Dezcaban]

But they didnt go to prison.

Why should they? Because they killed an enraged man waving a knife around and approached a police officer with the intent to harm or kill?

The intent was extremely obvious.

[Menen]

Because they are human beings too.

Just because cops are the law, doesn't mean they are above it.
