What are you talking about? 5 shots before he ever fell. He did the 100% right thing. This is not directed at you, I love the Monday morning quarterbacking by individuals who would crap their pants and run if faced with similar situation...all the while acting as if they know what they are talking about. The officers response was reasonable.So it is clear the officer requested him to stop and put the weapon down multiple times, and the man continued to approach him in an aggresive manner.
but my question is, did it require 5 shots to stop him? I understand that after 1 shot the man could have lunged, but he was headed toward the ground by shot 3.
Either way its a shame that someone is willing to take their life or anothers based on a string of bad luck and depression. Its a good thing he didnt have a gun, or it could have went another direction.
Anybody got a different link? apparently my flash player is outdated and i it wont update either.

Have you ever taken any self-defense handgun training?
What could he have done better?I just saw it.... i am not saying it was a bad shoot, but i dont think it was the greatest either. Would suck to be in that position, and completely understand why the officer decided to fire.
