2) The officer is clearly inexperienced To see him be trembling like that and mishandle the situation, it's quite clear that this officer is either inexperienced or very flawed in nature. It could have been dealt with in a better manner. If the officer starts panicking at anyone mentioning a gun, I don't think he's fit for the job. ...5) Four shots, wowzers When would that be reasonable? Was the officer scared the dude would rise from the dead and try to kill the officer? In no situation would I see him firing four shots be acceptable. He should've:
a) Only fired one shot b) Aim at non-fatal areas. Many deaths can be prevents if people shoot in the leg. Then again, I'm sure someone with knowledge on guns can probably counterargue this. ... |
2) from what i read the officer was stated to be with the force for more than 5 years. however,. he works in a neighboorhood where the last police shooting was "probably 30 years ago" so maybe he just wasn't trained for "this".
5) i think police training is regional but the current popular train of thought is to teach police to shoot to kill. seems to stem out of the idea that #policeLivesMatter so better to just kill the civilian if there is any chance that the life of the police might be put into any danger.
