The first guy pursing him got shot at, what, 4 times? So three targets, less bullets than one cop shooting Jacob Blake? Think about that. And theyre calling this kid a mass shooter. He showed restraint if anything. The dude who sucker punched him and the dude who running kicked him did not even get shot at.

If the police were using weapons with this level of firepower, they wouldn't need so many shots.

Pistols are pistols and rifles are rifles.

Exactly. My husband is a police officer, and he stated that it's actually normal for an officer to nearly use a whole magazine. Maybe not normal (his choice of words is sometimes poor), but it is quite common. Pistols, of course. I don't know what the stats are on shots fired with a rifle, but we don't talk much about his job as a rule. I overheard this when he was trying to tell his mother that seven shots is actually not an overuse of force. She's a leftist, but at least she seeks to ask before being frantic!
