How’s an officer to know that the guy is actually a cripple? Just being in a motorized chair isn’t conclusive. He could be faking it. Had he gone in store with his knife and assuming he’s not a cripple then there is real danger, especially to the person near the door.
He doesnt know, but thats the same reason you dont rapid fire 8 rounds, then one more for good measure, because you dont know if hes a serious threat or not.
To the officer he is a threat and the unknowns are part of creating that threat.
It’s worth pointing out that both John Correia and his cohost are retired LEOs, and the shoot was, in their opinion, murder. The officer in question has been fired, and as of yesterday, the local DA was considering which charge to charge him with……but it is certainly going to be some degree of homicide. It also seems unlikely that the officer will have any of the legal protections usually afforded to officers who are involved in questionable shootings.
