I know a few CPS officers and I hope this one makes a full recovery.
That said, it is kind of part of their job description. IMO, what the officer did shows much more bravery and responsibility than shooting the guy right away would have. It really should be their last response, and so it was. Unfortunately, he was hurt in the process and that is indeed terrible.
