7 shots each??? One shot maybe to the knee would've made him wobble and fall. How 14 shots was necessary to put through one person beats me.
...surely his death was inevitable in mins if not seconds.

I think the riots were started by outside provocateurs. This could cost Biden Pennsylvania and I think that will cost him the election.

@altschmerz Marvel isn't quite the word that comes to mind. Think Willie Horton. This only has to affect Pennsylvania to give Trump the election.

The police have to be retrained. This is just totally wrong.

Police in UK occasionally shoot a person, but seldom more that one shot, and where possible aim to disable, not kill. Why not the USA?

@Petter seems USA cops have to empty their guns on someone. That kind of force is questionable. It demonstrates their weakness, not their skills (if they have any) as a cop.
