You might want to take a look at the new pellet guns, some of them have muzzle velocities approaching 1200 fps. Close range and even a light projectile like that could drop a man if it hit him in the right place.
For a GAMO air RIFLE maybe, Pistol not so much. max 540 FPS.

You can kill someone with a pencil or a rock if you hit them in the right place.

I shot a raccoon 3 times over the course of a week with a Benjamin pellet gun with the scary killer pointed gamo pellets. It kept coming back until I pulled out the battle rifle.

Raccoon - 0
.308 - 1

If you are trying to kill someone with a pellet gun, I think beating them over the head with it would be more effective than trying to shoot them.

Cats are a different story.

does everyone really believe that someone armed with a knife 20ft away can stab you before you can react?

how do you punch someone from 19ft away?

even if someone is 5, 4, 3 arm lengths away then they still cant reach me even with a lunge

Lol, no. It would be stupid to use a gun when you're not trying to kill your target.
you got me, and my mind has been changed. Shooting that kid 6 more times just because he shot the first 3 was the right thing to do.

so fucking pathetic. if a dozen police officers cant/ are to afraid/ think its to hard to overpower a shot kid with a knife then they shouldn't be a cop.

I see it as a part of a police officers job to put your body on the line, not think well fuck its a 1:100 chance I might be wounded here so imam just blast 9 bullets into a kid.

do you remember Roni Levi? "Schizophrenic tourist shot by cops" on bondi beach?

Why isnt anyone holding the kid responsible for being out of control and threatening people with a deadly weapon?

Oh yeah, personal responsibility is so 90's...

He's not 50 Cent, he didnt need to be shot nine times.

Plus he's a teenager, teenagers are emotional little wrecks until they're what, 24ish?

He had a right to be an emotional wreck, just not one wielding a knife.

When the cops decide to shoot they shoot to kill. Being hit 1, 9 or 90 times does not seem excessive once that decision has been made.

They had a taser...

Holding him responsible and killing him while he was trapped on a bus surrounded by near a dozen armed police officers is not the same thing.

My red crayon is worn out, figure it out yourself.

I have it figured out. Are the cops up on charges for murder? Nuff said...

DONT TAZE ME BRO!!!!

Tazers do not always work and the cops wanted to go home to their family's that night.

You do not want to hold the kid responsible for his actions either, I get it.
There were 6 guns pointed at him and he's in an enclosed space...tear gas grenades/pepper-spray and a taser could've been tried and if it didnt work there was enough guns to finish the job.

Those cops werent at risk, they're just fucking chicken-shits.

Yes yes, they should have just built a chain link fence around the bus and put him in a time out... Stupid cops...

Here we tend to actually arrest people, you know so they can be tried by a jury of their peers?

We don't just "put down" criminals, shit, some people probably think cops should shoot pot growers/dealers on site...

Criminal justice system as opposed to judge/jury/executioner LEO... Hmmm... Let me think...

If the kid would have put down the knife.....

Round and round.
