I thought the author covered it pretty well. The simple answer is because you can't.

"Why can't they shoot a warning shot?...

Better yet, just shoot the gun out of their hand like the Lone Ranger and all those other guys did.........

if you’re shooting to wound you don’t need to shoot.

besides disparity of force arguments make this question ridiculous.

The police are trained to shoot to stop the threat. Death is sometimes an unfortunate result. Most people survive being shot by the police.

If the the police were really trying to shoot to kill all the time as some suggest, then they would be carrying weapons like M-14s.

Not to mention that police usually start first aid on the people they shoot once they secure them.

I suppose that the cops could be issued .22 cal. pistols for their service pistols. Maybe they won’t kill so many dogs.

My guess is that when the Toxicology reports come back it will be found that in addition to the Pot in Brown’s system they will also find PCP which would explain a lit about that shooting.

Why can't they shoot a warning shot?... Why can't they shoot to injure?"

Why can't they shoot the gun out of the thug's hand?

There was only one man who had that ability.............
