As per paraphrasing pedo joe: “Suppose you have an unarmed guy with knife coming at you? Instead of shooting them in the heart, shoot them in the leg.” Or pull and Annie Oakley and shoot the knife out of their unarmed hand. If you’re not intimately involved in the incident, you don’t know what happened. Good on the LEO. But watch out!
I think Slow Joe would have her pull an Esther Williams and dive away.
How did she not kill him at that range?
That would have been the better outcome.
