10. I'm not defending the cop

But is have shot men before, legally and during a war.

Couple things to know: about 30% of shots land, on a good day, and close range.

You have no idea if you’ve actually successfully shot someone, especially with a pistol. So you are trained to empty the magazine.

Pistols wounds seldom instantly kill or even affect someone. They basically poke holes in a person and they bleed out over hours or minutes. (A rifle, in contrast, has visible injuries.)

Anyway, long way of saying there is plenty bro complain about, but not the number of shots.
