But he also wasn’t shooting at them, he was running away. In that scenario, you don’t shoot him, because even if he starts shooting he ain’t gonna hit shit.
I’m sorry, but you don’t think the police should shoot at him if he’s running because …… he will have bad aim? No, the second someone starts firing at police - or anyone for that matter - they should be put down.
His point was you don’t fire wildly when you don’t know what you’re aiming at. Cops routinely hurt other people because they don’t care about what’s in their field of Fire. Also very important to note no one said anything about anyone firing on the police. You’re adding that.
Read his comment again. He was talking about the suspect, not the police. His point was that the kid was running and as such his aim would have been terrible.
I try to go to the gun range every two months or so. I can tell you, with adrenaline and panic, idk if I’d hit 50% and thats standing still. Which is scary because who knows what you’ll hit. That’s why I go to the range, to be good enough. Running I wouldn’t even bother shooting.
Cops are definitely not going to the range enough.
In 2024, important details were finally revealed, a total of 20 officers from 4 different agencies fired upwards of 221 bullets in a span of 25 seconds, Hill was struck 40 times, meanwhile Alexander shot himself, Ordonez was struck 12 times, and the 5 bullets that stayed in his body were all traced to police weapons, and Cutshaw was struck once in the back of the head, which was also traced back to police.
Four people were killed in the shootout. Both robbery suspects, Lamar Alexander, and Ronnie Jerome Hill, both 41, were killed by police. The hijacked UPS driver, Frank Ordonez, 27, and bystander Richard Cutshaw, 70, were also both killed in the shootout;[6] A female store employee was shot and wounded in the initial robbery.
The kid was armed and pointing it at the cops.

Don’t state that as fact. It’s just what the cops have claimed so far, and they lie constantly
Never pull a gun if you arent prepared to use it.
Police claim “kid was armed and pointing it at the cops.” Cops are famous for making up bullshit to justify their murders after the fact.
cops are trained to shout “he’s got a gun” after opening fire regardless because eyewitnesses won’t remember the order of events and back them up
Even if that was true, though, it doesn’t justify it.
Idk “he was aiming a gun at me” is a pretty good reason to shoot back imo. Now whether or not he was actually doing that is a different story
True, but cops think it does.
