In my day, wussies was used when you couldn't say pussies. Wussies is the wuss way to say pussies.

Hey, how was Jesus Christ? Was he cool?

They're good shots. They disabled the perp without killing him. That's how it's done in most civilized nations.

2 shots means you missed on the first

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

Hussies.

Now I'm happy.

A moving lower leg - that was what the cop aimed at - is a lot harder a target than a torso. It's fair to say that the cop achieved the objective of bringing the suspect down and ending the rampage without ending anyone's life. The preservation of life is the top priority. In most civilized countries. Unfortunately not in all of them.

you spoke with him? an upper leg-hip shot is what he should have went for. slinging bullets inside of a hospital vs. a 4-1 confrontation.....hmmm idk I think they were scared of the meanie American.

I haven't spoken with him. But I have been reading the original news reports in the relevant regional German papers. The confrontation at the time of the shooting was 2 cops vs the raging soldier, by the way. Not a 4-1. And your angle of supposedly scared German cops doesn't work either. Unless you're saying that the soldier's superior who had also arrived at the hospital at the time to cops got there was scared of him as well. The fact remains that had he pulled such a stunt in this country, he may very well be dead since cops here tend to shoot to kill - even when the offense is not one that would warrant the death penalty.

the story I read in the OP said

'Four Bavarian police officers were called to help hospital staff restrain the soldier, who has been based at U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr since 2013,according to NBC News.

The officers shouted German and English commands to put down the extinguisher, but he refused.

Just before he bludgeoned the cops, one of the officers pointed his firearm at the soldier’s leg and opened fire.'

ok so by your claim. that's at least 3 men. I still believe it was 4....it still doesn't change the fact.....sounds like, looks like, acts like....a bunch of kitties

Either a case of poor reporting or a case of stuff getting lost in translation.

Doch der Randalierer ließ sich auch von den beiden Beamten, die ihm gegenüberstanden, nicht bremsen, die ihn in deutscher und englischer Sprache aufforderten, stehen zu bleiben und den Feuerlöscher fallen zu lassen.

That bold part there - both officers. That means two.

Being 'kitties' is a vast improvement over what they were a mere 70 years ago. I'd applaud them for the transformation.

2-1 still kitties

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

2-1 still kitties

The serviceman's superior who was on the scene and failed to get him under control is then a kitty also, yes?
