However, if you want to pay that game, the cop had plenty of time to scream, "Drop your cellphone, or I'll shoot!" but didn't.

CVCOBRA1 Wrote:They are trained to shoot center mass and continue until the threat is over.Yeah. Only trouble is, the "threat" was imaginary, not real.
CVCOBRA1 Wrote:Should they shoot at the subjects legs?Nope. What they should do is determine if a person actually is a genuine threat before shooting.
