Okay, let's say the victim was confused and didn't put the gun down, and worse, aimed it at the cops thinking they were bad guys... SIX times? Really Mr. copper? Does anyone really think having a visual on a 72 yr old man who is obviously confused warrants six shots to the chest... No. Single..maybe a double tap and I could say yeah this was an error.. But to do six shots is just nonsense and shows this cop, who obviously trains with his weapon a lot, wanted more than to stop this poor old man.
You have never shot at, or shot a human have you :tiphat:

Just a guess.... but that sir is the only takeaway from your post I can gather.
No fortunately I have never had to but i have been shot at and the few times it happened it was not more than two shots and missed every time..

Re: Fort Worth police shoot elderly man

im surprised the PD had two rookies rolling together.. you would think they would do a better job of pairing rookies with experienced vets.
