As a former LEO, I disagree with nothing in your statement. It's hard to shoot straight in that type of situation. One mintes there's nothing the next you in a fight for your life. The brain and heart go into survival mode, until the armed target goes down. That I get.....was fired returned?
I have no idea...was collateral damaged considered? I have no idea...Was the overall outcome''not to bad" I guess if 9 bystanders getting shot but not killed is "not to bad" then I agree. Then again I wasn't there and may have done the exact same thing ....I would have considered it a very bad day though....
