The victim survived, but is now being persecuted by the government prosecution complex, including being charged with a crime for rushing himself to the hospital for treatment. I hope he finds a strong lawyer who can find justice and win a large settlement from the Rambo cops.

Lucky for him, department guidelines only allow officers to shoot unarmed naked people of mixed or indeterminate race a single time, even if the officers yell "stop resisting" and/or "he's coming right for us" [0] first.
