Plain and simple to me.. the man posed a threat to the officers and the surrounding citizens. I wouldn’t want to get within 35 feet of him since he could charge me. I think it’s a good shot and the police want to go home to their families at night, too. Now, I am the first one to blast (no pun intended) the police when they do something wrong but in my opinion... this shooting is perfectly reasonable to me.
What if it were one of us in that situation? Most on this board would NOT hesitate in bringing the crazy down.
To me there is no difference. Kill or be killed. Very simple concept.
