and yet again, why it gets tiresome when people who don't understand the nuances of self-defense law comment

what the first cop said did not "negate" the self defense claim.

what it means is that by HIS perception, the defendant shouldn't have fired.

not everybody, yes, not even cops, are going to perceive the threat the same way. iow, there is an element of subjectivity, to put it mild.

your comment about incapacitated bvefore the 8th shot was fired is just another example of people whose knowledge of firearms comes from teevee.

"it doesn't take 8 shots to incapacitate someone". this is why, THANK GOD, juries get commentary from experts and not internet know nothings.

i am a firearms./use of force instructor. i have seen and studied shootings where over 15 rds were shot into a person and they were still not incapacitated. iow... wait for it... it varies

8 rds can be fired in a few seconds btw.

really stunning lack of knowledge on this subject.

based JUST on what you said about the 8 shots thang, you have outed yourself as NOT understanding even basic physiology, force law, etc
