    What happened to shooting range proficiency testing? I thought the law had to be able to hit 90+%.

    Go ahead ...

    I did a few weeks ago. No link available since it was a few yeas ago. Pasco County Florida. He killed a Deputy and K-9 and kept shooting at the police, they shot him over 50 times. When the Sheriff was asked why he was shot 54 times, the Sheriff responded, "we ran out of ammo". He was White.

    Over kill? maybe, but he kept shooting, had already killed and was refusing to drop the weapon.

    The mentally ill man in your video should not have been shot. I actually appreciate many of your posts. Most of them keep a dialogue open, create an awareness of issues all of us need to be concerned with.

    Incidents like this are what make people distrust cops. I realize that not all cops are bad, but who can keep that in mind when we see behavior like this? I wonder if police forces are training their people to think citizens are disposable prey.

    One Mentally Ill person needlessly Publicly Executed in Broad Daylight for Everyone to See

    ... and The Entire Police Community Publicly Humiliated
    for Everyone to See

    Anyone with Eyes can see this.

    I don't see all Post and I'm not competing with Black or White Deaths ... ANYONE PUBLICLY EXECUTED ... and there's NO dispute ... this Guy was $#@!ing Executed ... anyone who killed like this, Black, White or Purple (well Ok ... Barny can be Scary) ... but no one deserves this type of death from trained Law Enforcement Officers.

    That's all I got to say about it ...
