The thing is, even a fatal shot isn't necessarily immediately fatal. They key point about being under fire isn't that you want the other guy dead, it's that you want them to stop shooting at you. So, yes, because people can sometimes keep going for a few minutes before actually keeling over, and given the accuracy under stress of a lot of police officers, police will tend to expend a hell of a lot of ammunition under these circumstances.
Sixty hits from ninety rounds is, all things considered, extremely good accuracy.
When the Met police executed Jean Charles de Menezes - a guy they had hands on at the time - they still missed four shots from the eleven fired.
If you can't tell if you're shooting something dead or alive you may be a retard.
That's not at all the point I was making.
The police may well have been shooting at the guy because he wasn't quite dead yet - the dude still had a pulse when they went to him afterwards.
You'd be a foolish police officer indeed to fire a shot at a guy, wander up to arrest him, and get yourself shot in the face because he's not actually dead yet, wouldn't you?

I just never got into gore porn online. Playing with dead meat is morbid.
If you can't tell if you're shooting something dead or alive you may be a retard. They seem pretty retarded to me.
It's also pretty sad how desensitized people generally are. Getting downvoted by ghouls: die angry(;
I recognize you as a total faggot

It sounds really retarded to try and arrest someone you think is dead
Almost as retarded as deliberately misinterpreting an argument so you can call people retards, in fact...
...You realize that he was alive, right? So... You're the one who can't tell something dead from alive, here... Which according to your logic...
I'm pretty sure I can tell a dead body when it has about 4-5 holes in the head
