in this case, i don't think the police screwed up. with the information i have, they were probably spot on or at least in the ball park of what was appropriate.
my big beef is people not wanting to question what police do (again, authorized or not) or making police accountable for their actions.

Well we agree there. My point is that the people that question police and police tactics must first make attempts to understand police tactics/training, the weapons they carry and the psychology behind the use of force. There are some great reads for anyone interested including any by Dave Grossman- 'On Killing' and 'On Combat'. As I stated, without any background knowledge, people attacking police simply b/c of the job they do and an unintended 'outcome' certainly shows a certain amount of bias.
How exactly have you educated yourself? Wikipedia?? RIIGHT.
