If the competence of US police officers extended beyond knowing how to spray bullets this poor girl would still be alive.

Yep.

Spray and pray is for thugs just wanting to take anybody at all out, there should be no such thing as a stray bullet coming from the side of the ‘trainer professionals’ with guns

You say that but a huge chunk of blame as always lies with US gun culture. It's highly unlikely this would have happened in the UK - for one, because police would not automatically use firearms to take down a perp who isn't also armed, and two because even if a UK armed response unit was called out, they are MUCH more highly trained and disciplined in their use of those weapons.

The "blame" for the entire incident is on the perpetrator yes, but the reasons it went this way are varied and systemic.

Obviously a horrendous situation but UK police encounter assaults like this every day (unfortunately) and deal with them swiftly, efficiently, and often without the need for even deploying tasers etc. let alone firearms.

The only situation that should require the use of firearms is when the perpetrator is also similarly armed (guns or explosives). The police in the US use them as a default, and it's inevitable that there will be collateral damage like this. Especially when you consider that the firearms training required for a basic uniform cop/Sheriff's deputy etc. is the bare minimum.

Armed response units in the UK are trained to a very high standard and are extremely skilled and disciplined in their use of firearms. That's the only way it should be. In fact in the vast majority of armed response call outs, in the end no shots are actually fired.

The USA police have to assume he is armed, the UK Police know the perp is not. no time to dick about

big difference

No they don't need to assume a perp in this situation is armed - if he's not actively holding a gun then the assumption should remain that he MAY BE armed and to be ready to take action if he seems to be reaching for a concealed firearm. The idea that someone could take out a concealed weapon from a pocket, accurately aim it at police, and fire before being stopped by a highly trained person who already has their sights on them is just nonsense. Is the perp Billy the Kid? Some sort of quick-draw wizard?

The idea that police officers should look at a situation where no firearm is visible and pre-emptively shoot as a first course of action "just in case" is utter lunacy.

I don't buy for one second that law enforcement in this case believed the peep was armed (beyond the bike chain he was already using as a weapon). They just aren't adequately trained to know how to tackle someone armed with a weapon like that without resorting to using their guns. Because that's how their training works in terms of apprehending people. Threaten with a gun, and if that doesn't work, use a gun.

"Obviously a horrendous situation"

TS
if the USA Police
never got there, he would have killed a woman.
It was right to shoot Lopez,
it is just tragic one bullet hit the store ground,
and then went into that 14 year olds chest.
Her Mother was holding her in that changing area.

[Mystic Mock]

Personally I'll never understand why American Police are so trigger happy.

Because American perps are the most weaponised Crims in the world

And the cops don't get paid enough to die every shift
