I was a cop and we took a course on "judgmental pistol shooting". All sorts of scenarios were presented and you only had a split second to decide if you were going to shoot or die. It was all done via simulation. So many times, I died because I chose not to shoot when I should have and so many times I shot when I probably shouldn't have. It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and say what she should have done but from experience, it's a tough spot to be in. My heart goes out to the victim and the officer. Gonna be hard to live with that one.
