Personal attack. Infract me.

As Glory Days said, you don't shoot to maim or kill. You shoot to neutralize the threat. Sometimes they live, sometimes they die. Trying to shoot the legs is dumb. You shoot center mass. It's the most efficient way to neutralize the threat, and if I'm to the point I'm using deadly force I sure as hell want that threat neutralized ASAP. In many gunfights, the accuracy rate goes way down as well.



Snot, you're an idiot. That is not a personal attack. That is me stating the truth. A crowbar, swung at a person, is a deadly weapon. I realize there's no swing in the video, but the average person would likely believe that if someone raises an object in that manner they plan on swinging it. An officer who would have tried to go hand to hand with a guy swinging a crowbar is also an idiot. They tried the taser and it didn't work. I don't know that department's continuum of force, but typically that is on the same level as chemical munition (pepper spray) or blunt force objects (asp, baton, etc). Since it didn't work and the threat is still coming, the officers were absolutely justified in elevating the force they used.

Personal Attack! "Snot, you're an idiot."
