Also getting shot in the leg isn't any good especially if they have a gun, as it won't stop someone from firing back. When they draw their gun it is more than likely to be a lethal shot for this reason. As to why it took so many shots? Who knows but some criminals are just plain insane and keep going at you. |

I'll give you a gun, then I will seriously try to kill you and see how good your aim is in the middle of me attacking you. No amount of training can stop an adrenaline dump and the fight or flight reflex. You don't shoot until it is necessary to save a life, then you shoot to kill. If you don't need to shoot to kill then you shouldn't be shooting at all. You also shoot until the threat is stopped, so if you wound him and he is still coming, shoot again. I do feel sorry for the offender. If 'The System' spent less time trying to look after itself and more looking after the people that require it, that guy may have received the treatment he needed. Instead he finished up the way he did. |

The real issue here is the pathetic way our governments approach treating and caring for people with mental illness. A top bloke got stabbed and died the other day just a few blocks from me in Sydney by a paranoid schizophrenic, and this guy in Perth is the latest of many who have ended up being shot by police officers left with no other choice, yet no one's interested in spending money on mental health.
BUT as soon as a P plater crashes a car.............. |

All I can say, is I feel sorry for both of them.
Mental illness is NOT a willfull act, and the poor cop will have to deal with the taking of a life for the rest of his life. All too often people like cops, ambos and nurses are asked to deal with the shittiest of scenarios and are expected to respond with the utmost legal correctness, or suffer the personal and emotional doubts that the susequent investigations will inflict. You don't want to lose a life on your shift! The CAR has F-all to do with it, it's the unfortunate circumstances they both played out together. A sad tale indeed. |

It's a very hard thing to control, not like in the movies. Police are taught to aim for the centre of the person as that is the largest area, and you are more likely to get a hit. How many people have tried air rifles at the show (ok I know their sights are often rigged! LOL!) but have only been 3-4 metres away from a target, been concentrating and standing still and still missed? I know I have, and I was a keen shooter when I was younger! Imagine the person coming at you with a weapon of any sort, and you having a powerful handgun, drawing quickly and shooting. Mate if I were a police officer and someone was coming for me, I would empty the whole clip, if that's what I had to do to make them stop! GK

I grew up around many high powered guns including M16's as my dad is a former australian pistol and rifle champion and top 10 in two world shooting comps (paris and USA)
We had many, many guns and as I was an avid shooter for all of my childhood, I can understand how much control etc it takes sometimes, especially with the big ones and during moments like this copper went through Such a shame that so many fatal gun, car and other incidents are happening in this country these days

What screws up your aim in the field is the adrenaline you get from a violent situation, pure and simple. Your hands shake, your breathing becomes rapid, you need to act fast(most often). You offset that with training, training, and training. The training is such that you act automatically, and hopefully, end up going home, instead of to the morgue.

Another case of underestimating the ammo requirements
As reported earlier this week, some dirt bag who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life piece of human garbage was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit said low-life 68 times. Now here's the kicker: Asked why they shot the guy 68 times, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel...get this. "That's all the bullets we had." God bless Sheriff Judd! |

well im with the officer to many times you here of things like this but any time any one breaks the law the forst thing you here is ohhh i have a mental illness and they get away with bloody murder so to speak. I think the justice system ha to take a good hard look at what monsters they are letting roam around, and do something about it.
