You a cop? I am. And I have NEVER in 25 years have been taught to “shoot to kill”. My training was to shoot to STOP the incoming threat. Shoot to stop, center of mass was the mantra drilled into me. Unless you are talking about that old hokey thing bystanders say: “why didn’t the cop wing him, shoot him in the leg or something?” That is unrealistic and always has been. Now I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m perfectly willing to let the process play out. But perhaps a little homework is in order before you post on some things.

The offixer who shot was a DRE and got there first. I bet she saw the signs of pcp use and was rightly afraid.
Note sure how her agency trains but a physical affirmative pat in the shoulder along with anouncing verbally is common practice many olaces.
