I agree, ansell. Your sense will tell you what to do. If he had his arms down, he wasn’t a threat and probably really was trying to do suicide by cop but without hurting the cop.
“probably really was trying to do suicide by cop but without hurting the cop.”
There is no way to do suicide by cop without hurting the cop. Anytime a cop shoots someone they are put through a very stressful time. It affects not only the officer but their family as well. While they may be okay physically they do have emotional consequences that have to be dealt with. Suicide is never a victim-less crime whatever the circumstances.
