Exactly this. Like, nobody is blaming the officer for being scared upon hearing a gun-sounding noise, that’s just common sense that they should be actually, but to empty the mag at… what? Without knowing what the target was? Or did he legit think that it was his car that was the threat?
That said, it’s surely a tough job, especially for the pay and the danger. Which is all the more reason to train them at least up to the level of a kid going squirrel hunting?

Cops doesnt even break the top 20 for the most dangerous jobs in the US. Pizza delivery is more dangerous, and they dont get guns/vests/tanks/training/SWAT/etc. They also sure as fuck dont get the pension or huge OT pay, and abikty to break laws without consequence.
Most cops dont even fire their gun in their career. This guy fired it at a suspect fully in his care, that he had searched, handcuffed and put in a locked cage in the car. He didn’t fire it once, he fired it at him a dozen times, and convinced his partner to do the same. They both shot at a man in their care and custody dozens of times because of a tree nut.

Okay but you are using “facts” and “data” there.:-)
While in their defense, that nut was scawy, and they got their fee-fees huwt.
The car was resisting.
