The thing that is really getting on my nerves about all of the reporting is the focus on " an unarmed man" and why he was not shot in the arm/ leg ect ect . FYI : a UNARMED person can kill you as fast as someone with a weapon.The officer was already hit, if the guy had got close enough he could have taken the gun or one of the other things on the gunbelt and used it against the officer then we would be reading about another LEO killed in the line of duty.
The police do not shoot to " wound" ever... Someone that is wounded can kill you, a women can kill you, a child can kill you and someone with a mental illness can kill you .. Armed or unarmed.
I am sure that when all the evidence comes out there will be some that will not agree and there will always will be some that will be unhappy no matter what.
There are those who believe that Police are only entitled to respond with equal or lesser power than what their suspect has. No gun, no justified shots ever.
