I just think the first cop is too high on his emotions. Compare him to his fellow officers(They even yelled at him to calm down)
I thought the 3rd cop did an awesome thing shooting through the windshield until the lessons from John that shooting through glass will do crazy things to the trajectory of the bullet.(He could have hit his fellow officers doing that stunt)

Cop #1-Pistol OK
Cops #2-#20 had time to pull out long guns.

That was way too many shots, especially from that distance and with that backstop. And the five shots through the windshield were not justified AT ALL. Do you really think you're going to hit such a small target, a guy rolling on the ground, through a windshield from like, 100 feet? You're just slinging rounds through those houses, and at that point, possibly endangering other officers with those errant deflections, not to mention that white house that caught all those rounds. This was handled poorly in a lot of ways. The concept of being responsible for every single bullet you send is totally lost on these guys. Totally out of control here, IMO.

I know John is very pro law enforcement and that is good because i would say that is his biggest fan base. John has there been a video or scenario of an officer involved shooting where you were like that officer was TOTALLY in the wrong and should be charged with murder?

………..Windshield shooter…………."getting in on the kill"…..fat chance those rounds found the target…..disturbing behavior. All that really matters to him is the locker room banter….."I fired too"…"I was late and not in a position to fire, but I got in on it anyway"…….he should pay for that windshield.

For those complaining that the officers were shooting at a fleeing man, please read up on a couple of cases and know the law.

First, in Tennessee vs. Garner the Supreme Court ruled when deadly force is reasonable in pursuit of a fleeing suspect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_v._Garner. That standard is clearly met here.

Agree to Disagree on this one….. First officer definitely needs better marksmanship, back stops were a little dangerous in my opinion. and we know shooting through a windshield is pretty sketchy.
