| 595515 | 2007-09-29 21:00:00 | Apparently that cop had shot someone before and was also accused of beating prisoners in a van . The police officer who shot dead a Christchurch man this week has shot a man before and received a top honour for his bravery in that incident . He has also been prosecuted, and cleared, of beating prisoners in a van . Two internal charges of using unnecessary force were withdrawn .

| 595517 | 2007-09-29 21:37:00 | ...and? Some people find it easier to kill after they have already done it once. It doesn't matter if the offender was armed or not. If the cop was trained right and a good shot (and we don't know if he was), why not shoot him in the legs, at least then he could have disarmed him. The upper body makes a better target, but he could have wounded him, no need to kill. |

I don't think he intended to kill him, when you double tap a pistol, the second shot is almost always higher then the first, this happens from the pistol reaction of being fired. Hence a shot to the leg and to the chest. This is just my opinion of course and yes I have worked with weapons for some time. |

| 595521 | 2007-09-29 22:25:00 | well....seeing as you asked, quite a few times. Whats your point? and if you where cornered with some nut about to bash your skull in would you have shot him? You make a very good point. I think we should get rid of our infantry divisions and replace them with hammer and knife divisions. Our army could take over the world! ROFLMAO have a look at the US stats, more handgun victims survive then knife attack victims. i wasn't joking when i said "the winner of a knife fight goes to the A&E". thats why police have a stand off range, they know that if a offender gets within certain range they can attack and kill the officer even if the officer gets a shot off. this is especially so with the 9mm pistols the cops here use. So now you're making things up. So it's alright when you do it, is it? advancing onto a police officer who is pointing a gun at you is clearly suicide. the gunshop offender wanted to steal a gun so he could have a shoot off with police. the 2nd gunshop offender wanted to be killed by the shop staff. the nutcase down south that killed a few people also wanted to have a shoot out with police. there has been a few others as well. I thought the police had a policy of shoot to kill, not shoot to wound police policy is shoot centre mass. handguns are not accurate weapons, the cop would have had his skull smashed in well before he could have hit the offenders legs. even as it is i think the cop fired 4 rounds and only hit the offender once. not very good shooting. cops certainly need more range time. |

No, for one I don't carry a gun, and secondly I would be charged with murder. Better to take the risk of having your head stoved in then either kill a man, or call the cops. |

Better to take the risk of having your head stoved in then either kill a man, or call the cops . just assume you where legally carrying a gun (which is not uncommon) . no point trying to call cops, you will be dead well before you can pick up a phone . i doubt very much you would let him bash your head in, it dosn't sound like you ever been face to face with a nutcase . horrible as it sounds even the nicest person would shoot/stab use whatever force is required . |
