Overwhelming force is vastly preferable to insufficient force. They had no way of knowing whether he was armed.
But yeah, the officer that pulled the trigger needs to be disciplined.

Officer need to be disciplined? What the heck--fire him already, and make him pay at least some of the compensation to his family that the good people of Fairfax will have to pay.
If a police officer can't stop himself from "accidently" shooting off his pistol, something is dreadfully wrong!

Crimes as this should not be delt with my a miltary type operation.
We have miltarize are police force due to the failed so called war on drugs.
