Remember the NYPD three cop on one perp stories where they dumped 60 rounds and no one was hit?

I didn't watch the vid, but from what I heard/saw he kept shooting AFTER the threat ended, so he's a bad boy. 9-12 years is excessive.

watched part of it .. he was piss poor shot .. and still shot more at the other guy as he ran away ..
just guessing ... he spent more time on the football field training then at the range

But if a person is ever placed in a position where they have to discharge their personal protection device, and the perp turns around and starts to run away, I think any reasonable person would understand that the perp would later attempt the same, or worse, crime against another. Thus continuing to fire should not result in punishment. It is merely protecting some future person from being the victim of a crime.

Until they have clearly disengage they are still a threat.
Just because they momentarily look away doesn't mean the threat has ended.
Now, if you chase them around a corner or something, you'd better have a spectacular explanation for why they were still a threat, but just turning away or diving for cover is not enough IMHO.
My idea of "threat" and someone else's idea of "threat" are totally different.
If the perp is willing to break into MY home, why wouldn't he do the same to someone else, later on, who may not be able to defend themselves? Does the perp magically "turn his life around" if he runs away?
