I can't believe the dudes in the car were laughing.
I side with the folks saying the use of deadly force was the right choice. But to continue shooting when perp was on the ground was excessive, however, as we could not see if the purp was still swinging at the cops while on the ground, we don't know, so it could have been necessary
and to those who think hammers/crowbars aren't deadly..... I really don't know what your skulls are made of, but you must have metal plates in there to be able to withstand something like that being swung full force at your head.
Cops don't take risks. Man with instrument swings for someones head, they go down, no questions asked.
I do think it sucks that it went that far, but police tryed all they could before resorting to deadly force.
And if you knee cap someone mid swing, they are still likely to hit their target even if they are taking a bullet in the knee.
and as mention, stray bullets are bad, there's a crowd around, other police all around perp, you're aiming for the largest possible target so you don't hit someone else who is innocent.
