[QUOTE="NightHawkeye, post: 67996556, member: 265226"] At some point in a confrontation one presumes that an officer's thinking changes from apprehending to killing the "bad guys", perhaps consciously, perhaps sometimes unconsciously ... and the firing doesn't stop until the target is neutralized. That's the approach used in warfare, too. A sniper frequently uses only one bullet whereas a foot soldier may just keep firing. Both individuals had rap sheets. The driver had been involved in multiple police chases. The passenger was on record threatening to kill police officers. The chase had gone on long enough that the pursuing officers likely knew all this. It may not have taken much provocation at the stop for the officer to go into "kill" mode. It appears that he was not in "kill" mode when approaching the vehicle on foot. Otherwise, he never would have ended up on the hood of the vehicle before firing. [/QUOTE]
