It means they shoot center mass until the threat is gone, unless the suspect is wearing body armor, then it’s a headshot.

There is a legal difference between saying the officer “shoots to kill” or “shoots to stop the threat”.

The first presumes the justification for lethal force remains until the suspect is dead.

The second allows for the possibility that the justification for lethal force may end under certain circumstances.

Perfect example is a case from a few years ago, in Chicago I think. Young man charges a cop with a knife. It is justified lethal force.

The cop fires 3 rounds (I think) and the suspect falls to the ground. The cop then fires 12 more shots while the suspect is on the ground.

Cop charged with murder because he continued to shoot after the threat was ended. The man posed no threat to stab anyone from the ground.

peace to you

I think that we are in agreement on this, for if the need arises to have a cop use their gun will be aiming somewhere to try to put the other party down and unable to still keep coming!

No human being can EVER kick God out of anywhere! He does as He pleases when He pleases and to whom He pleases. And is answerable to no one

Yes, but many times the Supreme Court nominees who seemed to be conservative once confirmed they all of a sudden become liberal, see John Roberts!

maybe. But why are you afraid that the majority in your country might think that Chauvin is guilty? There are police all around the world, who are corrupt and themselves lawbreakers. This does not mean that the majority are, but, they do exist. Chauvin is one of those who went too far.

Except he didn't kill Floyd as the evidence clearly showed.
