Multiple flash bang that surround a person and knock him off with sound and bright light?

"the guy will surely collapse after one shot."surely.
the protocol, developed by professionals from experience, is that they are supposed to shoot until the threat is neutralized. if the guy drops after one shot, cops have to stop shooting. if he doesn't, they have to continue shooting. it's not pretty, but the only way to be sure.
the video clearly shows that they did everything right. except maybe the distance, they let him close-in too much before shooting. a bit risky.
it's fucked up and maybe didn't need to happen, but the cops are the wrong people to blame, in this case.
- protocol? they shot him a minute after arriving, I'm not sure we watched the same videoGeorgesII

Maybe he got caught up in the hoopla, thought he can do whatever the fuck he wanted to because he's black and white cops wouldn't dare use deadly force on him now that everyone is rioting...

None lethal force for all. Cancer complaining bitches can fuck off.

^ so if I approach a cop ant tell him to shoot me, he's supposed to do that? I'm sorry, but no. There is a system of excavation, part of which involves the man being armed or not.

"so if I approach a cop ant tell him to shoot me, he's supposed to do that?"no. this is only in regard to a direct lethal threat.

This guy was not a peaceful individual. I think it would be hard on his part even though I agree the cops could have handled it better if their goal was minimum amount of force to neutralize.
- I don't understand the shoot to kill mentality though .. why not aim at the legs?Ramanisky2
- obviously dude was begging for suicide by copRamanisky2
- raminisky, shooting a leg will kill them too, just ask imagineallthepeoplemonospaced

We went to the Moon. I'm pretty sure we can manage to invent a tool that instantly stunt-immobilize a human.

Shame on those that make us live like this. This planet has so much, yet those in power fuck it and us over everytime.

This happened in Toronto last year... A kid brandishing a knife got shot 9 times.
I really think it's adrenaline for these cops. They let one off, and just get carried away in the moment, it only takes seconds for it all to go down and that's not enough time for these thick headed assholes to realize what they're doing.

It's the power that corrupts. Add that to the neanderthal opinion that guns are somehow a necessity and a positive influence on society and these kind of events are what you get.
America, you are broken and you don't even know it.
