        How did he fire 16 shots? Did he actually reload then shot again?

        15 rounds magazine plus one in the chamber. Standard on duty carry setup.

        Basically emptied the whole clip on the kid. Smh.

        Replying to @Retro_Spacely @mannyhenriquez and

        If the kid got hit 16 times it's very likely the officer reloaded at least once. Very few cops get perfect scores in the field. As I understand it the average for real world combat shooting is maybe 1 in 3, 1 in 4, sometimes less. Stress plays into it.

        So... You could, like, watch the video of the shooting and/or read any of the hundreds of articles written on the way incident to find out, definitely, what happened instead of acting as if it's some kind of mystery and throwing out needless hypotheses

        Unbelievable and heinously cruel. This guy was a human hunter! Glad he's off the street. I'm sure he will be a welcome item on the prison menu for justice.

        If you add up all the sentencing for every count he was found guilty of, he's never going to see the outside of a cell.

        This is a good start but the truth really depends on the sentencing, he better not get a light sentence because of his occupation. He's a convicted murderer and should be sentenced like one.
