Virginia Man Shot by Sheriff's Deputy After Calling 911 for Help

[TexasTowelie]

A Virginia man was shot multiple times by a sheriff’s deputy after the deputy gave him a ride home, left and then was called back to the man’s home for help.

Isaiah Brown, 32, is in intensive care with 10 bullet wounds after being shot outside his home in Spotsylvania County early Wednesday, his family says.

The home health care aide’s family told News4 they have no idea why the deputy opened fire.

“The officer just started shooting at him for no reason. I didn’t hear a warning shot. All I heard was ‘Hands up!’ one time. And all he had was his phone, so I know he put his hands up,” Isaiah Brown’s brother, Tazmon Brown, said.

1. Such a weird story. How many bullets do cops have in their clips?

Did he empty it into him? 10 shots.

2. I believe most have a 10 round clip

and possibly one already in the chamber for a max of 11. Could vary if departments use different model handguns.

4. Most 9mm duty handgun (like Glock) magazines have 15-17 round capacity, +1 in the chamber.

Larger calibers, like .40 S&W, generally about two fewer rounds in the magazine. Some states only allow 10 round capacity magazines for civilian use.

5. My 40 cal. Springfield XDM has a 16

round magazine plus one in the chamber totaling 17 rounds. So he could have had another 7 rounds or more left.
A few decades ago a cop carried a 6 shot revolver but
had to go to semi autos because civilians now carry Clocks

3. THIS MADNESS HAS TO STOP!!!

[doc03]

6. They are trained to fire until the threat is

dead. There ain't no warning shots shooting them in the leg.

7. What threat??

He called the cops back so he could check on the status of his ride.


Oh, you mean the threat of him being a black guy??

[soothsayer]

8. I think the cop had just given him a lift, if I'm understanding it

Threat of a cell phone in his hand?

It’s a weird story. Need more info.

9. Yep.

[doc03]

10. I should say perceived threat.
