yeah, I’m 170 too and I agree with you, I’d empty my gun. We aren’t in the position to know what happened, nor do we have the resources available to police. I have a concealed carry permit and if a 6’3″ 300 lb guy charged me I’d empty my Glock 10mm into him as well.

We aren’t cops, at least I’m not, so I don’t carry a taser, nor do I have the option of calling back up. If the guy walked away, would I tell him to “freeze”? I don’t know, maybe, but I’m sure I would’ve called back up before doing so. There are certain situations where cops have no choice, maybe this was one of them, but I’ll say this, in the last several years there have been a lot more situations where police have been excessive than not, IMHO.

I live in a small town and our police and sheriff have found it necessary to apply for and get a “bearcat” armored vehicle. I’m wondering why? Whether we like it or not, police are becoming militarized and I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

As always, JMHO.
