I would acquit the officer. He was brave for trying to confront a knife wielder in the name of law and order.
do you honesty believe police officers can do no wrong? It was perfectly acceptable to shoot him sixteen times even after he was on the ground? Are you freaking serious?
He could have stood back and stabbed if not shot enough. The officer didn’t know whether or not the criminal was on hard drugs/major painkillers.
And understandably, the officer was scared and reasonably overreacted a little.
