That looks like a firing squad from some movie.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Considering how close the officer is, that would have been a sure hit where the other officers could have rushed in to hold the man down and avoided any loss of life.

I really don’t understand why some cops seem to feel the need to unload their gun when they shoot someone. I mean why don’t the fire one shot, and see if if that stops the person? I just don’t get them unloading their guns on someone.
Just realizing, how many cops still carry nightsticks? That has always been the go-to for disarming a knife-wielder.
Sometimes the old tech solution is the best, not mace, taser, or beanbags. Just a little club.
