The fukking posts on facebook calling the cops out on the double standards for keeping white criminals alive and the white tears saying this aint about race is,

Fukkin' psychopaths wtf. Driving around a pick up with the corpses of an elderly couple they murdered and shooting at the cops. Soubds like a story from the 70's.

Those dudes were probably trying to bury the bodies elsewhere to cover it up and hide evidence. They didn't have a plan B so getting pulled over by cops wasn't part of the plan.

Returning fire is lethal force.

sure, but what happened to aiming for vital organs or the head shot?

Lethal force means using something (gun, car, knife, bomb, etc.) that can kill. You can be in a shootout and miss your target. Missing your target doesn't mean you didn't use lethal force.

The suspect got lucky. Being involved in a firefight is not easy. TV and movies make it look like you just point and shoot and the target is hit and dies.

save me the semantics and excuses, they had no intention of putting down these rabid pests, even after catching some lead themselves. 17 + 1 in the chamber and an extra clip or two on their waists.i'm not buying it

Oh, so what your real question was not that they didn't use lethal force, but why they didn't "murk" the suspects when they had a chance.

That's something I can't answer. I wasn't there. It is possible that other cops would have, in the same situation, fired a couple more rounds to prevent a possible return of fire. Like in case the dude could have been hiding another gun out of view.

These are semantics.
In police terms, 'use' of lethal force means 'using' a weapon with lethal force, i.e. shooting a pistol, rifle or shotgun, or driving a car into someone. If someone shoots a gun at 50 Cent, but the bullets didn't kill him, the shooter was still 'using' lethal force even though he didn't die. He 'could' have died if the bullets hit a vital organ.
Use of non-lethal force means using force that is not lethal. Strikes with hand, foot, baton, tazer, pepper spray.

attempted use of lethal force and accomplished use is two different ballgames.

attempted means they have wasted taxpayer funds to train and certify them as law enforcement and countless hours of time and ammo at the police range.
