Obviously a tense situation but a video like this makes it look very bad for the cops. Whether deadly force was necessary or not, is protocol to empty your clip? Especially if there are a dozen cops?
Yeah, I do my best not to second guess cops in violent situations, but damn, that doesn't look good. And the business of pointing guns at the people with the phone is excusable for a momentary decision, but smashing the phone afterward? That's inexcusable. Someone needs to lose their badge for that, at the very least. At its best it's a serious lapse in judgement.
Been reading some articles and all I can say is WOW. MBPD sure acted recklessly (hitting 4 by-standards). And their claims that the suspect was shooting at them, when his window was rolled up and his gun found UNDER the floorboards of the car are simply mind boggling.
He must have hid the gun under the floorboards as he was being pierced by countless number of bullets. Cause that was the only thing on his mind as he was being killed.
