I didn't watch the longer video, but it takes no time at all to unload a clip. You're taught 2 in the chest, one in the head under perfect circumstances... with adrenaline and a real-life threat, 9 rounds probably feels a lot like 2.

Cops use 2 in the chest because they miss the first shot because of adrenaline, unless they are good shots and experienced. You also don't stop firing until the threat is neutralized. You could definitely empty a clip and not realize it if you weren't experienced.

I didn't watch it but have read about it. While excessive by the laws, I say if you bring a gun with you to a crime that means you are going to use it and that should be attempted murder at minimum. If a bystander takes you out, then no problem (you better make sure they are committing a crime though).

He's dead now, so no medical expenses that the state will have to pay. The guy can't be sued for all his medical bills, loss of work, etc. His family may try to sue but potential earnings is probably less than medical would be. He's probably going to have some issues but if he was going to end it like that he should have just not stopped firing and he wouldn't have issues.
