Officer(s) are in deep doo-doo if there isn't a weapon within dead guys reach. 7 shots seems a tad excessive to me. With 3 on scene this should never have happened and you're spot on about not allowing the guy to walk around the front of the car in the first place. Curious: Would you have grabbed the victim from behind pinning his arms as he was moving toward the driver's door?
yes . That not the problem . The officer was trying to keep him out of the vehicle. When he couldn’t win the hand to hand battle . He shot him . That what happens when you go live fire instead of taser .
the taser might not have worked or it may not . He won’t ever know now . I think if there was a gun we would have heard by now .
