I get really sick and tired of law enforcement implying the heroes in stories like these did something wrong by defending themselves or others. The cops should be thankful this perp is off the streets, and this Veteran should get another medal.
I agree, but wonder if in some of these instances the the police are just doing a CYA. If they gave the guy Bravos and some future citizen did the same and got injured, in the climate today, said citizen would sue everybody in sight, claiming that "the police said it was OK, so they are responsible."
