News of the Polk County, Florida, shooting of the cop-killer. Ten
officers surrounded the perpetrator, only nine of them fired. Total
rounds fired: 110. Number of bullets which hit perp: 68. What is wrong
with these guys? And why did only 9 of them fire weapons? I demand an
investigation.

You nor few others will agree with me but the reasoning behind all of
this lies much deeper than few realize. Due to the cold fact that they
to are also in the same boat , just in a different seat with a
different paddle. Ninety percent of what goes on today is performed by
either presnt or past drug addicts. Whos brains were fried (TV Add) and
they either don't have now or never recovered the ability to reason
sensibly. Yes they may have became drug free, but the effect the drugs
had on their stage of mentality has never been rationalized. This is my
observed opinion from being among drug addicts.
Once they use drugs they lose certain mental functions that are never
regained regardless of how long they remain drug free. In other words
they lose various brain functions It looks like only one may have been
really clean.

The cops arresting Rodney King were "batting out of turn". I suspect
these cops did not want to be accused of something similar. How did
they miss so many times?

In New York (1999), four officers fired 41 rounds at a mope not more than 15
feet away, hitting him only 19 times (46%).

This is why police officers (aside from Barney Fife) carry more than one
bullet.

It's also called "suppressive fire."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadou_...hooting_victim)

Extensive investigations were held in the Diallo shooting (above), even a
trial. The four officers were acquitted and the US attorney declined to
press federal charges.

1,700 angry Muslims, blacks, and other assorted fools were arrested in the
protests over the shootings.

One study was done in Korea; as I recall, UN troops expended 6,000 rounds of
small arms ammunition for each "kill."

They fired at extremely long range - 10 feet.

Well,their score was better than the NYPD in Amadou Diallo's case.
IIRC,that was 19 hits out of 40 rounds fired.


BTW,people do not drop dead immediately after being shot with the first
round.(unless it's a head shot)

Because he was partially concealed.

Perhaps that's why only NINE of them fired their weapons?

As I underestand it, getting better than 50% hits is fairly unusual.

I'm more confused about how you get 110 rounds out of 9 weapons...
Somebody had time to re-load?

The murderer was partially hidden under a fallen tree trunk,where he had
dug in and covered himself with brush.

9 guns/110 rounds is only 12.222 rounds per gun.
Most police semi-auto pistols have ~15 round mags.(double-stack)
(it used to be that only us civilians were restricted to only 10 round mags
under Clinton's 1994 Assault Rifle Ban;police were excepted from that.)

Consider that the police were also armed with AR-15s with 20 or 30 round
magazines.(also police HK-MP5 machine pistols have 30 rnd mags)

Here is what the sheriff said:

"I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was
that's all the ammunition they had," Judd said.

That's only 12+ rounds per weapon. 15-round magazines are common. I have
33-round magazines for my Glock-9mm.

Reloading taks no more than two seconds.
