For those saying that the officer should have shot him in the arm or leg the police in every country are trained to shoot in the middle of the chest for two reasons: 1) It's the largest area of the human body so easier to hit 2) The chances of a fatal shot are higher.

If the police didn't do this you'd have A LOT more officers killed on duty.

Of course tragedies are going to happen every now and then but I feel a great deal safer knowing the police don't fuck about.

don't fuck about .. more like fuck up on a regular basis

Hardly a regular basis. This sort of thing doesn't happen that often.
