Good read. Thanks for the link.
I wasn't clear in my post above. I don't fault the officer at all. But I fear that video will not help him. SNS affects his perception, not the actual threat. And from the video, it is unlikely that the attacker was a threat at that point. Too many people will simply see a gun happy cop, banging away at a guy on the floor. The offers only real hope is an educated public, capable of understanding the reality of a life and death encounter. I fear that is not much hope.

Its' hard to see where everybody is. The initial shots seem to have certainly justified. But later the officer is firing the weapon at a significant downward angle. I'd say more than 45 degrees. I know we shoot until the threat is abated. How much of a threat would an attacker be if you're engaging him at a 45 degree downward angle on a level surface?
