Cop in America doing a bad job, again

It's more baffling that you still think it's a viable option
Year-long study by University of Cambridge of almost 2,000 officers across UK and US forces shows introduction of wearable cameras led to a 93% drop in complaints made against police by the public – suggesting the cameras result in behavioural changes that ‘cool down’ potentially volatile encounters.

Something inherently wrong with policing in the states then. I don't know how they cope in other countries.It's more baffling that you still think it's a viable option
Still think they're all cowboys obviously, that's what's baffling.
I wonder what it could be that's different in the USA from the rest of the world.
Well depends if they shoot someone back or like the case of the guy holding something in his hand, only in the movies cops can shoot someone on their hands or something like that, now when someone has a knife and the cop is more than 10 feet away and they shoot to kill is abusing the power.
Big country a lot of races, drugs and a lot of crime.
You know the training actually states that if a knife wielding person is within 21 or so feet and your gun is holstered, you lose. It's the "Tueller Drill" or "21 foot rule". It's kinda controversial because of all the variables it takes for granted, but as far as I know, it's been the rule for a couple of decades.
At 10 feet they have time to shoot the guy's balls or legs only if they come running at them them shoot to stop the guy, I think one of the reasons is the lack of training shooting the gun and psychological training like not to shit in their pants when someone who looks like a criminal stares at them and they start shooting until they unload their guns... shit they wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse
An example of how a knife wielding person is a deadly threat.
Importance of having distance. The officer did the right thing stepping back to get optimal distance, but officers are not obligated to retreat. He could've tripped on his ass earlier than he did, and could have been stabbed.
A "real life" example of how difficult it is to shoot at a moving target in an already stressful and dynamic situation.
A "real life" example of how one, or even multiple bullets, won't necessarily "stop" a suspect like you see in action movies.
The officer was very very lucky.
There is a famous police shooting from Pennsylvania, I believe, in which an officer shoots a perp over 20x (17 in center mass) and the guy still almost killed the cop.. Injured him badly. All the guy had in his system was "a little alcohol" per tox report. I think it's used in police training... But I cannot remember the officer's name.
Edit: found it! The Peter Soulis incident

Yup, bigger the hole, better the ventilationTime to use a desert eagle 50 caliber
Trying to tell me he couldn't have shot him in the legs and thus incapacitate him?
He could try but the cop is moving, the crazy guy is moving, if you really feel the need to open fire then your best bet is to aim for the center of your target. Less of a chance of missing your target if you aim for the largest part of the target you are firing at. In some situations a disabling shot might be practical, in others not so much.
Actually, this is a guy going for him with a knife, it shouldn't be in this thread. The cop is within his rights shooting this guy, so I take my comment back.
My issue is with cops shooting to kill unarmed people, which is what this thread is about for the main.

2 officers shot and killed in Palm Springs, one other injured. Search for the suspect still appears to be ongoing.
Pretty shocking this one, breaks his jaw and knocks out 3 teeth. Can't see any justification whatsoever.
It's so ridiculous. The only thing you can do is
FFS
Awful.
1) Why would you do that?
2) Why the feck would you do that directly in front of the dashcam if you were to do that?

In these videos they often looked jacked up on drugs. Adrenaline overdrive I suppose. I wonder if they even remember doing it?
WTF.
So is that pig even being charged?
Wow
I read this earlier and sort of dismissed it without thinking it through properly. I guess the idea that police officers would be jacked up seemed silly to me.
Then I read this:
http://cnn.com.de/news/police-officer-saves-dolphin-mascot-imaginary-fire/
What kind of dick travels around telling kids wanking is bad? The cop should have just shot him.
In fairness it might be the greatest headline of all time! To make things even better, apparently the anti-masturbation dolphins name was Fappy!
That's a parody article, no?
Is it? On CNN? Do they have a parody section?
No idea but there's stuff in there that couldn't possibly be serious.
I mean, if this is all kosher than hats off to you. That's the most surreal news article I've ever read, bar none!
It's not the real CNN (hence the .com.de in the address). It's a pisstake.
Sadly when you google Fappy The Anti Masturbation Dolphin it becomes immediately apparent that he also hasn't been arrested for swimming naked at Seaworld, for masturbating in public nor is he the subject of an upcoming Michael Moore documentary. His real name is Paul Horner though and he's a stand up comedian taking the piss out of the likes of Westboro.
Damn you Google, it should be true.

Fappy . The guy quoting V for Vendetta. And Google showing the only other items relating to this both us the fake cnn sight as a source. Neither of the other items were credible news websites.
