Its tough, 9 shots is a bit excessive, police departments are notoriously finicky about every bullet used and being counted for.

I laugh at people who say well shoot him in the leg or in the arm. Pistols aren't the most accurate thing out there at anything over 10 feet, some people play too many video games. The idea with a pistol is to aim at something that blocks out the entire site and more, ie center mass.

There has to be an investigation, if witness reports are to believed there are probably a few cops either out of work or facing the courts.

Outside of the kid yelling "You're a p$ssy" we don't know what was said or shown on the bus, I'm hoping its not a cop who got his feeling hurt and got a hair trigger.

I agree with what's being said, there has to be patience shown for the investigation, and the results have to be open to the public, the most important thing is public trust of the police.

I can't comment on the taser thing without knowing more. For example if the police interpreted the weapon as a ranged weapon instead of a close in weapon then a taser pretty much goes out the window, same goes for something like a bomb threat. Taser's aren't the ideal choice for those type of things.

Sounds like it was a cluster flop (yo Gunnery Sergent Highway TBS), they didn't secure the area properly.
