Perhaps,.when it comes to tree risk assessment the value of a statistical life is a bit over 1 million. It costs about 50k a year to jail someone so perhaps it did make financial sense to shoot him.

I very much doubt at that moment the officer involved was doing mental arithmetic. I think you are looking for something that ain’t there Mark.

That's a shame. 

 

Pros and cons and that.

Honestly this whole thing is fishy.

 

Either the copper broke all his training  drills and only fired a single shot..

 

The weapon jammed on the second round.

 

Or it's an ND  

 

 

When you shoot through autoglass is really weird because your eye is pulled to the edge of the spiderweb effect. Side windows shatter unless they are mostly all the way up.

 

So Mr Plod with a Glock and it's shit sights pulled off an SAS level kill while a car was hurtling towards him,a black target in a black car.

 

I think he had been advised to own that shot.

How do you mean?  That it was a negligent discharge that he was recommended to claim as deliberate?

Not in the article I read.

 

It was a Glock. So honestly shooting into kin headlights as car hurtles towards you and you calmly squease off a single shot?

 

That to me is movie drills. 

 

I might be completely wrong and maybe they do that now but why?

 

" OK chaps if you are in fear of your life always just fire one shot,got that lads,then pause to examine the effect and continue as needed"

That is one way to put it.

[peds]

How is another way?

Maybe not so negligent after all?

[tree-fancier123]

he could probably see the driver slump and the car probably stalled if it was manual

i get that it would have been safer for the cop to turn him into swiss cheese, just incase he had a gun and was able to return fire.

The cops didn't doo bad this time, I just wish ours would dress a bit better - like in Miami Vice
