Police use hollowpoints specifically for stopping power and to eliminate overpenetration on center mass shots. The Hague Convention only binds military forces acting against other military forces.

I remember hearing about this case in a TV documentary when I was young,it was pure luck that I somehow manage to find the whole incident years later.
Not sure why this stuck with me for so long,I assume part of the reason was the 1990s–2000s police dashcam footage that played a part,especially since it actually captured the incident as it happened. You rarely see that.
Context :
On July 31, 2009, 39-year-old Steven Tyrone Mallory died following a violent confrontation with police on the Centennial Bridge in Davenport, Iowa.
The incident began when Officer Clif Anderson of the Davenport Police Department stopped Mallory for questioning in connection with an unprovoked assault that occurred 15 minutes earlier at the Café on Vine. A witness had followed Mallory to the bridge and identified him as the suspect. Despite being ordered multiple times to get on his knees, Mallory refused to comply.
When Anderson deployed his Taser, it failed to subdue him. Mallory then launched a brutal assault on Anderson, biting off part of his eyebrow, punching him repeatedly, choking him, and slamming his head into the pavement.
During the struggle, East Moline Police Detective Jim Weakley, who happened to be passing by, stopped to assist. Although Weakley attempted to pull Mallory off Anderson, he was unsuccessful. Anderson, still being violently attacked, managed to draw his Glock 40 caliber handgun and fired two shots into Mallory.
The first bullet struck Mallory in the chest, hitting his lungs and heart, and was believed to be fatal; the second entered through the torso and exited the body. Scott County Attorney Mike Walton ruled the shooting "reasonable and justified," stating that Anderson's actions likely prevented further injury or loss of life. Mallory, who had a documented history of violence, had just assaulted Rylan Bebermeyer, a volunteer at the Café on Vine. Despite the unfortunate outcome, officials emphasized that Anderson had no other viable options during the assault.
The video footage from Anderson's squad car camera corroborated the sequence of events, showing Mallory's refusal to comply and the ensuing attack. Anderson sustained serious facial injuries and required plastic surgery. He remained on leave pending physical and psychological evaluation. Davenport Police Chief Frank Donchez stated that Anderson was recovering well and anticipated his return to duty. An internal investigation was also initiated to ensure departmental policies had been properly followed.
Mallory's record of violence goes back several years.
He went to prison in the mid-1990s on drug and assault charges.The assault was against three Davenport police officers who went toMallory's home to arrest him for an earlier assault. He refused tobe handcuffed. Officers sprayed him with pepper spray, and Mallorycharged at the officers. In the ensuing fight, one officer receiveda bruised back, broken glasses, a scraped arm and a bite on hisarm. A second officer was cut on the head. A third officer's thumbwas smashed.
More recently, according to police records, Mallory was chargedwith two counts of domestic assault in January after he hit hisaunt in the face, which caused her to fall and break her hip. Hewas living with her at the time. He then beat his cousin, whoattempted to intervene, chasing him around the house, kicking himin the chest and stomach, police said.
The last fatal officer-involved shooting in Davenport was in2007, records show. Frank Elfgen was shot in February 2007 afterofficers responded to a call about Elfgen threatening to killhimself at his home.
Javascript blocking blocks a lot of these kike media paywalls. I recommend NJS, since it lets you block JS on a per-site basis without mucking about in settings.
Well, I got a new one for you all. Not sure if she survived but damn that rider on the scooter had to be moving pretty fast. I've seen lots of pics of people eating on the street and it's always confused me as to why they do that. Anyways here you go: View attachment 7519453
I know the guy had a microsleep but the biker was really pushing his luck with a move like that. Just goes to show the danger of the "I'm big enough to see" mentality.
Don't want to get hit, don't hit your spouse over some bullshit minor argument. Especially when your spouse is the sex that's known for being both more prone to and far better at extreme violence, triply so when you live in a shithole "country" that spent entire generations killing 90% of the members of your sex at birth because the communist bandit warlords said you can only have one kid per household.
Why are Hispanics always surprised at violence and start screaming like retards? I will never understand it. They act surprised at the most boring run of the mill things. Hispanic countries have a reputation for being more violent, so it's doubly retarded that they'd be surprised.
