What kind of justification is there for emptying a whole magazine into a child? Even if the kid is running straight at you, legitimately threatening your life with a knife in a situation that I'm honestly struggling to justify here, a single bullet would do the trick.
Here's your answer:
My friends and I categorically refuse to visit states in red. During the pandemic, their refusal to use masks and vaccines resulted in their hospital capacity reaching critical conditions, and they had to export a ton of their sick and dying to Washington and Montana, among other states. This deferred care for resident cancer patients in those states.
Guess how they thanked the states that bailed their asses out come November 5th? If you guessed "crushing tariffs", you guessed right.
There are a few good souls there, but they have a disproportionately high number of extremely evil people.
This is the same group of "warriors" (cops , i understand these are separate states) that mag dumped after an acorn fell on their car.
Not only that, but he was on the other side of a flipping fence.
Like hunting an animal in a cage, Don Jr style.
In a situation where you're using lethal force (e.g. a gun.) you aren't doing the minimum or doing disabling shots or sharpshooting the knife out of their hand, you are stopping the threat. This means center mass (torso) shots to minimize the chance that you miss and hit someone behind or near them (Like the two people were near the kid.), and you shoot until they stop being a threat. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug (and whatever other potential drugs folks can be on.) and can let folks shrug off a bullet if it isn't instantly killing them, hence the training on lethal force is shoot until they stop being a threat.
That said: Given that he hadn't even cleared the fence they had time to back up. IMO this was a preventable shooting and they likely could have had one officer pepper spray or tase him (Both have about 15 foot range.) while the others kept guns on him.
Shooting culture.
The station gives out an Arby's coupon every week to whoever scores the most kills.
Sitting in Arby's eating lunch. Who do I have to kill to get a coupon for a free lunch? I got some ideas.
All these cops go into work itching for a kill.
From what I can see, many American police officers seem to believe you have no reason to be alive if you don't submit to law.
