    Clearly the police could see enough to hit him 60 times.

    Well, to begin with, he suffered 60 bullet wounds meaning he was shot 30 times.
    I guess shooting at the police then going on a wild car chase instead of simply complying isn't a bright idea.
    But will they get the message?
    Nope

    60 holes in his body. You will see that some are exit wounds so it's not 60 rounds. FMJ tends to go through the body while hollow point expands and tends not to exit unless you are in close proximity. Rifles are another story

    either way, he made a choice to fire upon law enforcement so whether it is 6, 60 or 600 rounds that hit him, it was his choice.

    It's his behavior that should be the focus, not law enforcement

    it's not always a 1:1, some rounds may have remained inside of him. But, he chose to fire at the police

    I have never understood what it is about these people refusing to comply that always results is a bad result for the person not complying that these people don't get.

    it's the same people that believe you should negotiate with your 6 year-old child about going to bed because the 6 year-old knows what is best

    the critics have never been in the situation nor do they have respect for those who are

    This is now the third version of what happened.
    So forgive me for not taking this post seriously.

    You don't think the police can figure out where the guy lives?

    Even if the car he was in wasn't registered to him, the person it is registered to most likely knows him.

    I guess police need to fire the detectives and use that money to buy more bullets.

    Is there any evidence that he fired at the police?

    Its the version in the OP.
    Not sure what version you are reading.
    If he has 60 bullet wounds according to the media, knowing them they always exaggerate by making out of context claims.
    That would be 30 gun shots.
    Why not just say he was shot 60 times? Because 60 bullet wounds sells more stories.

    I cant discuss this with those who have traded humanity for excuses.
    In général I cant discuss with those who have become so hardened against moderate behaviour as to live in a corrosive confrontational world on so many levels
    What à sad place the USA has become.
    I don't have to include your circles of hell in my life. I have steered and crafted my own life so that I don't have to .
    Good luck. And be careful. Learn to work with what you agree on and resist à civil war by media.

    Maybe there was some concern that the guy driving around in a f***ing SKI MASK might not be known to the actual owner of the vehicle. Like, maybe he stole it.

    Was the vehicle he was driving stolen? I haven't see this reported anywhere.

    I don't know if it was stolen or not, and it's not really relevant to my point, which is this: if you see someone driving around in a ski mask, it seems like there's a good chance the actual vehicle owner might not know that person. Take, for example, this scene:



    Do you think a cop in that situation would think, "You know what, I'm pretty sure I can just look up the vehicle's tag and go ask the registered owner who the heavily-armed group in nun masks were. He probably knows them."? That would be insane.

    Was he heavily armed?

    You keep making up hypotheticals which aren't based on this situation.

    Yea, i agree if the police are scared to death of everyone, they will likely shoot anyone who sneezes in their direction.

    I know you disapprove, Pixie, but whether it's 60 shots, or less, or more, the police were charged with the responsibility for bringing a totally noncompliant, dangerous perp down, and that's exactly what they did.

    So maybe the world you were taught growing up isn't the reality of what the world actually is.

    Creating your own space so you can hide from reality isn't a heathy thing.
    All it does is set you up for more disappointment.

    And punish those that need to be punished and learn from it assuming someone needs to be punished and a lesson learned. For all we know now it was a lawful shooting and no lessons need to be learned except by the person who can no longer learn things.

    I’m sure someone had called you out on this already, but he fired on the police from within his car. Is that not a crime in your book?

    Dumbass jumped out of a car with a mask on and fired upon police. Sorry that's deserve to get shot for public safety. End of story period. Don't be a criminal if you don't want to get caught, if you do get caught don't run, if you run don't pull out a gun and shoot at the cop, if you do shoot at the cop don't run out of the car with a mask off then turn around instead throwing your arms up and getting on your knees. If you do these things you/re dead, if you don't you're alive. Now we get the lefty trying to take advantage of this idiot to advance anti police narrative but any sane person knows what this dude did is beg to get shot.

    Go spend a minute as a cop and let’s see how many people you shoot. Or better yet sign up for one of those police training seminars and go through the exercises that put a cop in life or death scenarios and see how you do. See below, use of force.

    This guy was a smart sass who thought he knew everything too. He fake murdered a couple perps:)

    all police shooting should be investigated... period, and if rules violated, people punished and if it could have been done better, try to learn from it

    It is what they overdid and denied legal process.
    I cant talk to those from another side of fundamental legal rights and legal process.
    It is called à police state and I prefer to leave discussion with those who support it.
    Allies to the ignoring of women rights to happiness.
    And overbearing states rights to overrule personal beliefs.
    I don't want these tenets in my phone or in my life.
    I prefer fun, reason, humanity modération , diplomacy and lack of pedantic semantics, anecdotal "proof" and a total lack of justification for the potential for death statistically proven to be the highest in the developed world.
    I have crafted my life to offer safety, freedom of the streets, spécialiised to share community care , lack of silly political semantics, repeated garbage about the dangers to western culture.
    IMO the greatest danger your fundamental freedoms of 250 years ago is the labelling of personal opinion as an enemy of the state.
    Mr. Bacon for example is a reverse image of American culture.as he repeats youtube lectures by bigots.
    I have no more time for battles I have fought for years. I like where I am, can go to bed with the door unlocked, go to célébrations without fear walk in woods intotal security.
    Why should I involve myself in those who crave such freedoms but want it totally controlled by like minded people?
    That is a recipe for à totalitarian state. North Korea thinks it is free. Until you try to form minority identity politics. The state says they destroy the culture. The problem is the political culture of the country, not those who have individual concerns.
    ISTM the only uniquely American culture west of the Missippee is that of violence and the gun. How very sad.
    Sorry. Going off topic.
    You lot bicker amongst yourselves. It isn't my problem. Thank god. I don't have to be here.
