Research shows that they can stop. Average for a police officer is 0.35 seconds to stop once threat has ended. This guy was very highly trained so would have been quicker. I would say that, before the first shot had even been fired, he realised he was no longer in any danger, because by then he could see the car was moving away. It was too late to stop the first shot. But he only continued shooting to make sure of the kill.
Never heard such nonsense, you have obviously never shot at anyone

You are talking about firing on a range or simulation, totally different to firing at someone.
An officer can generally stop shooting within approximately 0.3 to 0.6 seconds after perceiving that a threat has been mitigated, although "extra" shots are often fired due to biological, mechanical, and psychological factors. While the decision to stop may be instantaneous, the physical action of releasing the trigger involves a time-lag, often resulting in 1–4 extra rounds being fired.
 
  • Shooting to Stop: Officers are trained to fire until the threat is neutralized, not necessarily to a specific number of shots.
  • Continuous Fire: During a rapid, high-stress shooting, breaking the shooting rhythm to assess the situation can take longer than the threat itself, making it difficult to stop mid-sequence.
