Nonsense. There's a time for lethal force, and that time is VERY rare compared to how often it's used by present day police. My town's police hadn't discharged a firearm in over a decade, but a recent incident resulted in an officer shooting someone... in the leg. TWICE. AFTER he was fired upon.
My point has nothing to do with the appropriateness of the level of force used. My point was that once the decision is made to shoot, it is shoot to kill.
Whether or not that was the correct/appropriate decision I have no opinion on at this point.
