"And the odds of him hitting all 16 shots aren't "astronomical".
Google: Police Hit Ratio Statistics
they are astronomical for him to make contact with all 16 shots, at night, from that distance. Like lottery numbers is what I was told. Under stress, at night, 1 out of 4 bullets hitting, but he hit all 16. No cop will tell you that is normal. All police who commented couldnt believe those numbers. That is why some "tunnel vision" defense may come into play, where he could say, once my life is threatened, and I have the right to defend myself with lethal force, I just aim and pull the trigger, until I am not in fear any more, and Im essentially not counting trigger pulls and just "in the zone".
"If I remember correctly he dropped him with the 1st shot and then shot him 15 more times while he was basically immobile."
You are incorrect. Watch the video. First shot likely spun him around, I believe. More shots after that, until he went down. Cant remember...3-4?
"If anything it would have been impossible for a trained marksman to miss any of those shots (unless he was missing on purpose)"
You are watching too many movies. How often do you think these guys discharge their weapons? How often are those targets moving? Now how often are they under life or death stress? At night. These are not "skilled marksmen". Yes, they practice. They have to. These are not snipers...they are cops. Its not John Wick out there with a badge...its some goofy-haired pollock.
99 problems but readin this thread aint one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule
At common law, the fleeing felon rule permits the use of force, including deadly force, against an individual who is suspected of a felony and is in clear flight. Force may be used by the victim, bystanders, or police officers. According to David Caplan "Immediate stopping of the fleeing felon, whether actually or presumably dangerous, was deemed absolutely necessary for the security of the people in a free state, and for maintaining the "public security.
maybe i'm not understanding what you intended to say. in the post i quoted, you said that you believed what the officer did was excessive, but not illegal. my point is that by definition, excessive force is illegal. did you mean to say that the officer's actions were not excessive or do you actually think that an officer is free to use excessive force without breaking the law?
ah, sorry.
If Im speaking as just some dumb ginger, strolling down the street, and I watch that video, I say to myself HOLY SHIT!!! That looks excessive as hell! Gallo and I were both like WTF when we watched and discussed it.
but then, I was informed of what comes into play in these situations (which 99.99% of the public is clueless about) and it makes more sense as to why the states attorney didnt know what the hell to charge him with, and why they likely surpressed it as long as they could because the public wouldnt understand, and Rahm wanted to be re-elected, and Anita wanted to be re-elected (since it was released, she lost her re-election to a very pro BLM, cop hating worthless black woman, who wants to prosecute cops to the fullest, yet let all criminals go).
Dont think they need something to charge him with, just to charge him. Rahm is doing everything he can to put the ails of the city all on other people's shoulders. He wants to run for president. He needs all this crap that is going on in Chicago to go away and get swept under the rug. They probably charged him with 1st degree because they either have some incredibly amazing dirt on the guy that no one knows about yet, like some secret recording, OR, they know they wont get it and they will say they gave it the old college try, he will be found not guilty and blacks will burn this fucking city down, and then no one is focused on Rahm. Rahm will then pay off the black civil leaders so that they march with him and stand together at a podium and talk about healing the city, and major overhauls on Police, and the blue code, and reform, and blah blah blah. My gut is telling me it will be this, and race relations will continue to be set back.
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE
Requesting a photoshop of drk's brother chasing 'nita down the street.
Blake,
If it is any consolation, they dropped the charges on Nita for "Excessive Chins".
