I couldn’t open the video but I concur that if this whole incident just took just a few seconds then indeed I’m gonna side with the Cop. It’s real easy to quarterback when you’re sitting watching something from the safety of your living room, if the guy is a threat then he’s still a threat until he’s down on the ground and maybe so even then.

But shoot to wound? Who ever said that? All I’ve ever read was shoot to stop, center mass, lethal or not.

If we’re going to shoot to wound, why stop there? Let’s just shoot the pipe or gun whatever out of the bad guy’s hand like in the movies.
