Never understand it when law enforcement chooses to use lethal force when non-lethal force would clearly suffice. Rubber bullets, taser, shoot him in the leg, something. She aimed right for dude's chest and boom, done.

He's a piece of shit but I'm not gonna go so far as to say he deserves instant death.

Wow, for sure police, especially in the US are way to fast to pull the trigger but this example, in my opinion she could not have done it any better. She's a hero. What do want a few people bringing their kids to school to get shot?

I don't think HarryCaray is being totally unreasonable, was lethal force necessary? I also understand the other arguments

I think law enforcement may have gotten lucky that he didn't get off a shot and somebody else was killed. Doing it the way they did put other people at risk, that's undeniable

If he was black, there would be more riots today and killing would be blamed on "racism". (no that really doesn't matter, just saying)

And if you don't want to be a victim of police shooting, don't do stupid things. That's also true, so I don't exactly have much empathy for the victim.

I would be interested in hearing from a Law Enforcement Officer, because my gut tells me they're trained to refrain from lethal confrontation unless it's unavoidable. I think she put people more at risk with the confrontation

Then again, if she waited and somebody else was shot, she gets shit for that too, so I'm not calling her wrong either, just a tough call IMO
