You think you have special powers of telepathy that you know exactly what someone knew or didn't now in a given situation and what they were thinking or weren't thinking.
In situations of self defence the aggressors life is in forfeit. If in any doubt you don't take the risk. If you need to stop them you use maximum force and you don't take the risk that lower force will be insufficient.
I'm tired of people reading into self defence and siding with thugs and attackers.
In this case his only mistake was shooting a few seconds too late. At that point he had no idea for sure if his friend had been hit, what the assailant was going to do and probably wasn't even sure of what the assailant had on his person.
That brief window of time is a few seconds in which you can only possibly act on instinct but I bet you've been thinking this over and watching that scene for several minutes on end.
You could argue it was technically a mistake but it was an unavoidable one and it was the perp that put himself wilfully in that position. No one forced him to become combative. He choose it and anyone who chooses that has to know that they might die as a result, by taking those actions they've signed their own waiver and consented to being on the receiving end of lethal force if that's deemed necessary.
We need to be getting tough on criminals and hard on crime, not soft. It's being soft that's led to this situation with the exception of when cops are authorised to go hard on crime it's some democrat political bullshit like arresting people for fucking making jokes in youtube videos.
It's time for zero tolerance of criminals, violent thugs or those who side with them. The man was a violent thug. Why not hold him to some standards and scrutinise what it is that he did?
He goes into a violent maniac rage and you're giving us flak over the police officer's temperament? Give me a break mate.
In situations like that where officers have to make the call and risk getting it wrong is part of the job description. They're probably already beating themselves up over it every time they have to pull the trigger and don't need your help.
