Agreed. Too many cops are too quick to shoot to kill. Had a case at a Costco near us when a woman serving samples lost it and started waving around a small paring knife. Used to be, a cop would grab her arm: “Drop it lady before someone gets hurt.” Yeah, yeah I know - she could have massacred the entire store... They should have tazed her, talked her down, wounded her in the leg as a last resort. But no, they shot her dead. Ok “cops are always right” FReepers - flame away.

Ah, was she told to drop the knife? Did she? Tsk-tsk.

Police are not trained to shoot to “wing.” People confuse what happens on TV and in the movies with reality.
