this is not really that bad, so many worse situations.
however i really do believe that police training needs to step wayyy the fuck up. Situations like this dont really require guns. Even if they did, could easily just shoot in the legs or foot or anywhere non deadly. I understand the 'heat of the moment' argument, but with better training, i believe that officers will have ability to handle situations with less emotions and more logic.
Train USA officers like they do in Russia and i bet BLM would never have been born.
Shooting someone in the leg or the foot is not something you do easily. They are smaller targets and they are mobile. Furthermore shoot someone in the leg, knick the femoral, and they bleed out in minutes. Truth is there's no "safer" place to shoot someone from the perspective of the one being shot. Therefore if potentially lethal force is to be used, logically, it must be viewed from the perspective of the safety of the officer.
