Thanks for posting the full story access, Kyo.
When I first read this, I thought that sounds excessive. Then I had to remind myself to get all the facts. After reading the link that Kyo posted it defintely brought a different light to my thoughts, not that this story alone presented all the facts.
"Excessive" as defined by webster's-" going beyond the usual,necessary, or proper limit or degree ". This man has a history of criminal behavior, shot three LEO, killing two of them, stolen weapons & ammo, & is hiding to evade capture hoping to escape accountability & responsibility for his choices. The only thing standing between this killer & other innocent people is brave men/women doing what civil government has given them authority, training, & equipment to do.
Excessive! I say to those that would ask this question, I will answer this when you answer these. Is it execessive when an LEO believes he is about to write a citiation or possibly just give a warning, to be shot in the leg? Is it a little excessive when two officers go out for a "routine" patrol, with just the intent to keep the public safe, are murdered, executed, by someone they did not know, & now are not able to return to those they love. Exactly how many bullets constitue "excessive". I would say ONE was in the case of Deputy Williams's partner's case.
I am thankfull for free press, I just wish it was not so profitable so that it would go to reporting the facts instead of trying to take facts out of context to sell stories.
