[QUOTE]Originally posted by DEVERO2: [QB] As I will agree that the officer discharged his weapon too many times, I can not say that he should not have discharged at all. The man got out of the truck and when officer said "hand up" he went back into the truck. The officer could not see through the truck to what he was grabbing and the officer felt his life was in danger. when the man came back out of the car it looked in the video that he had something in his hand. It was a split second decision the officer had to make, shot or be shot. The officer did not have time to double and triple check what the man had in his hand. He discharged his weapon. I would have done the same thing in that situation. I would have sent one shot into an appendage disabling the suspect, but not killing him. At that point I would survey the surroundings and if suspect tried to come at me I would discharge again. That is my opinion of course. The suspect did in no way deserve that many shots, or to die. I also agree that a taser should have been his first choice, but like I stated before he only had a second to make a decision. remember before he discharged his gun he was placing it back into his holster until the suspect went back into the truck. In a him or me situation, with that much uncertainty, I would want me to be the safest. If the suspect pulled a gun and the officer had a taser the suspect would have shot the officer and the taser would have possibly not been shot or maybe it was shot and suspect still shoots officer. This is a sticky situation, I am sorry for your friends family and loved ones and my prayers go out to them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
