OldBrownsFan Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 It was stunning to see how someone could get shot so many times yet keep coming after the police. The police did everything they could to keep from shooting the man but he was determined to seal his own fate.... https://therightscoop.com/shocking-video-shows-man-charge-cop-with-knife-after-hes-been-shot-and-he-nearly-gets-the-cops-gun/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 He's white though so it wouldn't have mattered in any case if the cops just walked up and shot him in the head following commands or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’m thinking I’m glad that cops alright but he probably shouldn’t be a cop anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dste Ace Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 This video is a good tutorial for the people who, after police legitimately shoot and kill an armed person, ask "But why couldn't they just wound him? Why didn't they just shoot him in the leg?" I recently read an article (can't remember where--it's called Google) that addressed this issue. We watch movies and Mel Gibson shoots someone and they fly backwards 10 feet and die immediately. In reality, the only sure way to immediately stop someone is with either a head shot or a shot that severs the spinal cord. Even after shooting someone in a vital organ (including the heart) the person can take up to 1 minute to finally succumb. With a shot to tissue---an arm or leg---it then depends on what kind of person you're dealing with. Some people will succumb to fear and/or pain and stop immediately. But if you're dealing with someone---like the guy in this video---who doesn't care about the fear and pain, you are in a life-and-death, kill-or-be-killed situation. Think Michael Brown, the 6'4" 292-lb "gentle giant", who was shot 5 times and kept coming until the sixth---and fatal---head shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Police are taught to shoot dead center in the chest, not that they always hit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dste Ace Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Yes, center mass, that's the biggest target. However, I've read an account from an undercover police officer where he shot an armed robber in the heart with 00 buckshot, and the guy ran 100 yards before his brain finally realized that his heart was swiss cheese and he fell down dead.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Generally if they are shot in the heart, within 15-20 seconds they will black out from lack of oxygen to the brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your previous post you said that generally, someone shot in the heart will black out within 15-20 seconds. Let's conservatively cut that in half---say 7 to 10 seconds. All I'm saying is that if the person is 10 feet away and has a knife or other deadly weapon, that 7-10 seconds can seem like an eternity.

Regular old schizophrenia can cause the same thing. I also don’t see anyone out there pushing for legalizing PCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the bad guy could cover 21 feet in about 1.5 seconds—before you could draw your handgun and neutralize the threat. somewhere, there is a test - a gun instructor - and his shooting Wife - they showed they couldn't draw and shoot before the "opponent" went 21 feet.
