You are going through a lot of effort to make seven shots in a man's back seem justified. It isn't working, they are still shots in the back.
And you sure do seem to be ignoring the Elephant in the Room: What SHOULD the cops have done instead? What would YOU have done if it were your job to stop Blake under the exact same set of circumstances? Because without answering those questions, we won't know how police should act in the future, which was essentially the basis of your original post.

A couple of nights ago I posted in this thread solely based on what I saw in some short video clips without having anything close to all the facts. That was foolish and I regret doing so.
Kyle's attorney appeared on Tucker Carlson's program tonight and added a lot of important detail....the most important of which was that someone had called Kyle asking for help as his business was under attack. So it would seem that he had a very legitimate reason for being there and, given that the city was under siege, having a weapon is quite understandable. He wasn't just a kid hungry for trouble as it first appeared to me.
I still don't have all the facts that will be presented in court by both sides, but this new info is enough to call his guilt of any crime into question. I stand corrected.
They surely do need more and better training. I'll definitely agree with that. Unfortunately, this whole BS #DefundThePolice and #DisbandThePolice is going get them exactly the opposite. Unfortunate that the Democrats are so obedient to the rampaging mobs and their idiotic demands. We might have been able to vastly improve the quality of policing in America otherwise.
What happens when there are too few police with even less training? More mistakes. More police on the edge. More itchy trigger fingers.
I'm ALL IN on helping the police do their jobs better. More cops, more training, faster, more highly manned responses, better equipment, more choices in non-lethal force, more cameras, more physical training (Joe Rogan believes that all police should attain the level of Purple Belt in Ju Jitsu), more foot patrols, etc.. Which is going to cost WAY more money than we're currently spending. But with a population ever-increasingly believing they can do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want, and then fight the police instead of complying to lawful demands afterward, we're gonna need it.
If the populace would behave like civilized human beings instead of friggin' savages, we wouldn't need police at all. Good Luck with That.
Where is that in any training manual ? Police are supposed to be trained, not pulled a train on !!!
It's no laughing matter.
