This was a completely unjust taking of life.

So, in this situation, who's life should have been taken? The police officer's, or the insane person violently attacking strangers?

Let's stick with your original assertion, the police officer ought to die... but then what? Let's assume the other officer dies too. When does it stop? When the first civilian is killed? And then what? Should police officers line themselves up to be killed until the insane person is completely exhausted?

I think you're going to have a tough time finding people in today's world who are willing to sign up for that deal.

But, how can you morally justify potentially dozens, or even one good person giving up their lives for the sake of an evil person?

You mean let’s stick with your insane strawman posting?

Can’t you do better than that?

Nobody should have died; there was no need for that. Stop kissing killer-cop’s asses, ok?

The woman in this news article was not herself, was known to the store and was not “evil”.

This individual was ill. I’m sorry you don’t understand people’s outrage that she was shot to death, as opposed to being overwhelmed and subdued.
