...it's good to know police are all trained to shoot center mass because of that and not because handguns are actually easy to miss with when your body's entire store of adrenaline dumps into your bloodstream, and y'know, 9 mm rounds don't make people fly into another room like they do in John woo movies. 🤔

I heard a story about cops shooting a guy like a dozen times with .45 and he still had time to get in his car and down the road before bleeding out. Not sure about the authenticity though but I can see it happening.

Different example:
On August 25, 2008, Sergeant Timothy Gramins was in a shoot out with armed robbery suspect Raymond Maddox.
Over the course of the firefight Gramins hit Maddox with fourteen .45 rounds from his Glock 21. His heart, right lung, left lung, liver, diaphragm, and right kidney were all hit once.
Though mortally wounded, Maddox remained in the fight until Gramins landed another 3 shots - one through each side of his mouth, and one through the top of his skull into his brain.
Shot placement very important, and by extension the more rounds you have the higher the odds you land a vital shot. A Glock 17 chambered in 9mm comes with 17-round magazines, so 2 extra mags mean a total of 51 rounds. A Glock 21 chambered in .45 comes with 13-round magazines, giving you a total of 39 rounds. Whatever marginal benefit the .45 offers over 9mm is not going to be better than an extra 12 rounds.
Gramins only had 4 rounds left by the end of that fight. If he hadn't managed to hit Maddox in the head, that's all he would have had left to deal with an opponent still shooting at him.

I think this might’ve been what i previously read about.
You think it’s because 45 has less velocity to bounce around with? Possibly the Adrenaline gods blessed this man with some superhuman shit?
I also read about a SEAL that was shot around the same amount with 7.62 all around his body but he still cleared the house and made it home.
Edit: the seal story. He was shot 27 times, a lot more than I remembered lol.

depends entirely on the ammo, what they are wearing, and where you hit them. the whole mythos about the .45 being a one shot stop, knocking people over, etc is from very old military training trying to get people happy about moving from their accustomed revolvers to the (then) distrusted, new fangled, and Nancy boy 1911.

Iirc he was only hit in his carrier a couple of times and most of the shots hit his arms and legs.

They are likely thinking of China, or making up a lie based on China. In China there is a flat fine for a wrongful death. But if they don't die you are responsible for all related medical bills for the victims life, plus a possibilty of a lawsuit.
That's why you see people getting hit by a car in China in the car backs up and runs them over a few more times.

Too bad an estate suing is a thing.

So let me get this straight. You tell the cop you're going to sue and they immediately hand out freedom seeds like candy to you. Yep, seems legit.....

I'm glad someone chimed in to let him the surviving family is usually more than happy to sue.
No, police kill without consequences. That's known fact. Duh.
Good I was gonna be like what about the family they almost always sue
