I understand the need for the officers to retaliate... However, how come the officers couldn't shoot him in the leg, butt, arm, or anywhere else usually non-life threatening. It is the easiest to aim and hit someone in the mid section. However, there were probably snipers at the scene which could have easily shot and disabled him in an area of the body that won't kill you. I've seen snipers shoot suspects hands forcing them to drop weapons or able to hit any area they want to shoot. I am unaware of the entire situation but I am sure they could have brought the suspect down without killing him. I suppose if you have 10-15 officers firing their guns at the same time it might be hard to save that person's life. So instead of a firing squad they could have went a little more tactical. |
If I'm being shot at and I know my life is in danger, then I'm going to try to kill the guy shooting at me. Obviously he doesn't care for my life if he's shooting at me. I'm not going to give him the benefit of life when he wants me to die.
.... Just saying
