Quote from Ricter:
I'm reminded of a video I saw where the police shoot and kill a guy, who has only a knife, while he's over 20 feet way. Come on, if he won't put the knife down then just shoot him in a leg. Admittedly there's a fair chance the guy would die from that wound as well, but it does give him a better chance at life.
Perhaps you will come to an understanding of why the man was shot, once you have stared death in the face and he was looking back at you like a you were a steak, hot off the grill.
You shoot him in the leg and maybe he lands a lucky throw that ends your career in a hospital or a morgue...
