Exactly. fff; She wasn't even moving towards or facing him.

Nothing wrong with what the cop did tbh. As long as he shot her below the chest. There's main arteries in the leg that if shot would kill you in minutes. So the leg isn't always a safe shot either

[Toya]

Is she dead? I'm too scared to watch the video

You really are this dense If this woman was literally stationary with her feet firmly planted then it would be easy. When you are in MOTION, it is very difficult to aim at a moving body part rather than the torso which is much more stationary in motion. If you had ever even fired a weapon before in your life, you would know this. This isn't a video game, its not that easy. Because if it was, THE POLICE INSTITUTIONS IN AMERICA WOULD BE FOLLOWING THAT PROTOCOL. But since you and half of this site think you know better you wouldn't get that.

You're delusional on this topic. This isn't a conspiracy. The officer was clearly threatened by an armed individual regardless of her age, weight, gender etc. He instructed her to drop the weapon several times. She continued to approached him erratically and he fired 3 shots into her stomach waited and when she did not fall shot her one more time. That is protocol. Aiming to kill would be a point blank head shot. On top of this, if you knew ANYTHING about human anatomy, you would know that first, it takes many more shots in the legs to stop a target, AND it is much easier when aiming for the thigh to rupture the main artery in the leg which would kill a person due to blood loss in under a minute.

What the f*ck. What video are you watching. They are both on the sidewalk and she is clearly moving towards him and he moves away from the sidewalk.

well presumably you're not a cop. he should've had very specific training to deal with situations like this, it's different.

And he did exactly what he was trained to do. She's running at him with a knife, he is trained to eliminate such threats to his own safety.

but.. she was apparently running towards the officer? if that were true legs wouldn't be hard to hit at all, you just shoot ahead, no? she's a big lady, it's not like she has a thigh gap the bullet could've gone through..

[Diarrhoea]

Well, don't run at a police officer with a knife, that's what happens.

It's not like they want to kill them, they're just defending their lives like any of us would.

[Javan]

He was allowed to do it by law. But it does prove that American police<<<<<

In the UK they can disarm crazies without guns

[Kali.]

That's what you get for coming at a cop with a knife

You actually think one shot to the leg would be effective in assuring that she wouldn't reach him with the knife? Especially somebody having a psychotic episode? Listen, you've made it perfectly clear that you don't care about what could potentially happen to the officer or the other people around. So there is no point in continuing this discussion when you are so painfully ignorant.

Like i said 5 times, it is protocol to aim for center of mass. Thats how its always been. The officer did nothing wrong and if you think otherwise than you are just ignorant to the fact that these officers get minimal pay to put their lives on the line to protect others. Whenever a cop dies nobody ever says, "well why didn't the criminal shoot him in the leg?" so why the f*ck are you saying it for the other way around.

because one's a criminal and one's a police offier?

[keshaspearsxo]

Americans!

[TheEmancipation]

This exact same scenario actually happened with one of my neighbours. The police officers I think are trained to shoot there in these types of situations.

My exact point. The officer is doing GOOD for the people and he's getting attacked for using deadly force when it was justified and when they get killed in the line of duty people just shrug and move on.

You're just so delusional to how the real world works it hurts

Well if it hit her Um yeh... Who runs with a bullet in their leg?

[NEZ]

her dumbass shouldnt be coming after him with a knife. no pity here.

[Phunk]

It was not necessary to shoot 5 times at her.
