Do you think you'd be brave enough to be in a gunfight?

Boo is going to shoot you with his game controller.

They wouldn't just curl up and say "please don't stab me another 39 times, that 27th one hurt".
Actually I've probably seen hundreds of videos where people do exactly that. They're so overcome by the extreme violence, and they're winded and dizzy and rapidly losing blood...that they just put their hands up and ask their assailant not to shoot/stab them anymore. . They think "surely this person wants something. If I just give them what they want, they'll let me live." Rather than the alternative- which is that their assailant just wants to kill someone. And you can see the realization slowly move across their faces when they realize that now they're too weak to fight back even if they wanted to, and this person isn't going to stop. You're going to die here. It's really fucking depressing.

Whether your targets is shooting at you or not…it doesn't matter if you're missing the target by 10ft…and again in the "heat" of a gunfight bravery isn't really a thing…it's either shoot or be shot (or possibly both).
Originally posted by vindicktive vinny you sounds like people who go to the gym to punch sandbags for a few hours a week and think they are gonna be a winner in any fist fight.
until they find out that unlike sandbags, real people punch back. -

As always the extreme examples are highlighted by the media/news etc. Hundreds might sound a lot but when you are talking millions of incidents globally it's a drop in the ocean.
Watch/read some reports of murders etc where there was direct contact between perp and victim...9/10 the perp will have some kind of wounds from the victims defensive fighting..scratches/cuts etc. -

people who die getting shot point blanc usually also have holes in their hand from trying to block bullets. -

2019-05-17 at 5:57 PM UTCCops are like judges they are human and act on personal emotion. Two different judges will give the same person to different sentences based solely on the personality of the judge. Same with cops shooting people. One cop will act calm and rational and the other will trigger happy as soon as he can. Nothing to do with the actual scenario just everything to do with their mindset.
There are about a million videos to back this up. If cops didnt have guns they would be forced to do things differently and yeah sometimes they would die but mostly they wouldnt.
Like that hotel hallway video in Vegas where the dude spends an hour playing Simon says with a kid laying on his stomach and then eventually kills him. There were about 100 opportunities where the 10 cops could've literally just went up to him and cuffed him, but they made it all weird and ended up killing him. -

One of the best stand off videos I've ever seen was a man in the middle of an intersection I think. There were 20-30 cops with guns out. The man had a knife or something. They finally get close to him and rush him, take the knife away, and instead of taking him down the cop closest to him actually hugged him. They knew the man was mentally ill and were relieved he didn't kill himself or get himself killed. Wish more situations like that ended the same way.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-05-17 at 6:06 PM UTCI love when they shoot a person 20 times and they're laying on the ground motionless and the cops keep screaming for them to drop their weapon and stop resisting , all the while the person is literally laying there dying, then they approach and are all concerned about making sure he gets handcuffed. Its embarrassing as fuck.

That's why judge-shopping is such a critical factor in any criminal defense. -

Apparently they must teach that at day 1 of cop school. "After you've shot the suspect 50 times and hes laying there, dead, make sure you keep screaming at him and cuff him lest his dead body raises up into a zombie and eats you and the other 100 cops."
