Yes really.
Apparently you forgot to include what I was responding to, and what that number actually indicates. :doh

Irrelevant to the quotes.

How many? Clean straight shots, or just glances and no critical ones?


Regardless of any guilt or innocence in this case, around eight to ten I would say.

You already have shown not to understand that that number is the approximate number of shots the Officer fired. So again, what is it that you do not understand about that?

And what exactly did you not understand about what came directly before that? Huh?
It basically shows that it could be any number of shots?


And what did you not understand about me also later stating that the amount of shots can be variable?
Huh!

Yeah, your absurd gotcha games fail each and every time simply because of your own inability to read and understand what has been said.

Fascinating.

The average gunfight is usually over in 2 to 3 shots.

This must reflect just excellent marksmen and very manly men.

8 to 10 shots must be for the Barney Fife types whose hands shake a lot.

Fascinating to see that now sober, unarmed men now require 8 to 10 (or more) shots.

I was unaware that Andre the Giant had so many children.

OR, that could simply have been the contents of the clip. That's how they train Portland police. If you're going to employ deadly force, fire until the clip is empty. Remember, deadly force is the last option. The clue for you is in the words "DEADly force".

Really.

If the threat goes down after 1 shot, do the remaining rounds go into the air or a nearby trashcan?

I find it difficult to believe that any agency teaches to shoot to slide lock.

That is quite irresponsible.

Where is the link for these training procedures?

I really don't believe that. It would be incredibly stupid to waste all of your ammunition in a panicked frenzy.

Only if you buy the panicked frenzy characterization. Which I don't.

Your posts are nothing but silly, as you have no valid point.

The number of shots vary. They always do.

This isn't the movies. Panicked frenzies occur.

Police are normally trained better than that. The worst thing to do is run out of ammunition in a gun fight.

No amount of training is going to make a cop fearless and emotionless, especially police training which doesn't focus on realism on the same level as the military and soldiers react out of fear and emotion.

How scared should someone be of an unarmed man?

You knew what I meant, but what if he would have been killed with one shot?

It would make the "he went for my gun" argument much more plausible.
 
Hey can one of you rioters, rioting in the name of social justice pick me up a juicer? Preferably a high-end one thats easy to clean.
 
oh good, it's time for the liberals to make another thug a martyr and political instrument to divide the country. T shirts already being printed I assume

Why do you say he was a thug?

if you ever find yourself struggling with a police officer for his gun, you are by definition either a thug or the dumbest human being on earth. Feel free to use either term to describe the victim.

How is his argument less plausible based on the number of rounds fired?

That unarmed boy assaulted the cop and tried to take his gun. That's probably enough to scare the hell out of anyone.
 
Btw, here is the deceased:
