If the cop had taken cover by his cruiser to wait on backup instead of running up to the guy - and the guy advanced to within 20 feet or so of the cop's cruiser, I'd agree good shoot.
Just like in my own life, if someone attacks me and I feel my life was in danger I'll shoot until the threat is stopped. There is a reason I carry. But I'm not going to shoot and kill some crazy a$$hole who approaches me reeking of beer, stumbling, telling me to kill them. I'm gonna high tail it outta there if AT ALL POSSIBLE. I do not look forward to the day that I have to shoot, and I hope it never happens.....and I'm surely not going to dump a whole mag on em. Reloading takes time that is precious in a confrontation, which is why I spend about 5 hours a month or so extensively practicing doubletap body shots immediately followed by a single headshot. BANGBANG..BANG, repeat.
I'll post pics of my target next time. I'm comfortable enough in my shooting ability that anymore than 6 shots would be just putting more holes in a dead body on its way down to the ground. Last time I was at the range I practiced with half full mags/full mags. One target I took 41 shots, all of them double taps except one (it was towards the end of my session and I had an odd number of bullets left), all of them at about 35 feet, all in very rapid succession with about 1 second in between double taps. If it were a human target, all headshots, I would have been 41 for 41. All 41 bullets were inside of about an 8 inch group, and that's being liberal with measurements. Only about 6 (maybe 7) of the bullets were outside of about a 5 inch group.
