nostatic there have been too many cases of cops empting their weapons on people with screw drivers for me to buy "well if the cop shot somebody in the back line"

Case in point. About 7 years ago a guy holds up a Shoney's here in Charlotte. Cops stop him on I-77

Guy is surrounded by 10 to 12 cops. Finally the guy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a screw driver. All but a few of the cops empty their guns on the guy.

So lets say 8 cops went trigger happy. 8 x 9 = 72 rounds going into or towards the criminal.

Bit excessive don't you think. Anyone get in trouble.... Nope. They came up with a catchy phrase "Suicide by Cop".

One shot to the back is more justified than 72+ rounds into a guy holding a screw driver. If some one violates my home they better be ready to pay the ultimate price.

In both cases neither of those thugs will commit another crime.
