Just to clarify my comment, I do think it was an appropriate shooting. Maybe in the old days cops would have beat her senseless with nightsticks, but times and policies have changed. My only concern was the safety of his fellow officers who were in direct line of fire behind her.
I agree
I don’t understand why not try for less lethal takedowns even with guns
Military will attempt it when thy prefer not to kill the target
Bin Ladens wife shot in the thigh is one example
