7 shots - yes, everyone questions the number, including me.
But I am also in favor of letting the process play out - no rush to judgment.
The officer was issued a semi automatic hand gun - doesn't take much time to fire off 7 rounds, especially when you are pumped with adrenaline.

As for the law, there is no limit on the number of shots.
If an officer believes his life is at risk, then he is legally allowed to use his weapon to eliminate the danger (shoot to kill).
Don't like that law, then don't fight with cops, resist arrest or disobey their commands.

For those interested, here is a very smart lawyer's early account of the incident (very close to the police union statement on Friday) and discussion of the law.

Note 1: this guy is meticulous about facts and legal nuances – former prosecutor and defense attorney.

Note 2: outstanding warrant for sexual assault - Blake was not an innocent bystander getting into his car.

Warning: SWC does write from a right wing perspective

As noted above, the Kenosha Police Union issued a statement on Friday, providing a few more details.
