Re: Police Released This Bodycam Video of an Officer-involved Shooting & Death
The officers gave the guy many chances. But I wonder - why weren't non-lethal options explored first? The guy had a knife, and presumably not a gun (otherwise he probably would have been wielding that, right?). No need to take a life here.

Re: Police Released This Bodycam Video of an Officer-involved Shooting & Death
Most of the time the Yankee police shooting videos fuck me off; I can’t argue with this one. The main cop in the video was very respectful and was completely by the book. There’s nothing more he could’ve done for this man. Great video. |

Re: Police Released This Bodycam Video of an Officer-involved Shooting & Death
Word. I actually feel a bit of sympathy for the poor dude, having to wrangle all of his personnel like that while trying to negotiate with the nutjob. He handled that shit like a boss, though. You can tell that his brain never shut off once and he was thinking in 360 degrees the entire time. A true pro. |

You never use a taser with a deadly threat , a knife is a deadly threat

Re: Police Released This Bodycam Video of an Officer-involved Shooting & Death
I found this if it helps: Why not “shoot to wound” instead?For a couple of reasons: First, shooting to wound someone may not stop the threat. If a person is shot in the leg, the threat may still exist as a suspect could still use his or her hands to fire a gun or stab with a knife. Second, and most importantly, it takes a skilled marksman to hit someone exactly in the arm or leg, and, most officers are not skilled marskmen. In fact, outside of an old-fashioned TV Western, few people can make that shot, no matter the training. Dr. Bill Lewinski, executive director of the Force Science Institute, explained in a position paper for the Institute the physics involved in the notion of training officers – who are often running after suspects – to “shoot to wound.” "Hands and arms can be the fastest-moving body parts,” Lewinski said. “For example, an average suspect can move his hand and forearm across his body to a 90-degree angle in 12/100 of a second. He can move his hand from his hip to shoulder height in 18/100 of a second. "The average officer pulling the trigger as fast as he can on a Glock, one of the fastest- cycling semi-autos, requires 1/4 second to discharge each round."There is no way an officer can react, track, shoot and reliably hit a threatening suspect's forearm or a weapon in a suspect's hand in the time spans involved.” |
