Scenario 1: The one where they had been engaging with him for the past 15 minutes and he was not on his two feet. Don't escalate. Wait until he poses a risk.
Sure if in Scenario 2 he's gone to the door, shoot him if they feel the need to with whatever weapon to protect those inside. If in Scenario 3 he was on his two feet and approaching the officers aggressively, shoot him. If in Scenario 4 his relative jumped the barrier and tried to calm him down and the police thought there was substantial risk, shoot him. ####, if in Scenario 5 he was winding up to throw the knife, shoot him.
But in the actual scenario he's not even on his two feet.
If we somehow got to the scenario right before the second shot, when he's on his two feet, staring down the officer, sure use the ARWEN (and absolutely as he's begins to charge) and there's no way to say it wouldn't be justified. I just don't see justification for shooting a person on a knee.

And this is where the clear lack of training is an issue. ARWEN is best used as a deterrent. When someone in a rational mind doesn't want to get shot at in the first place. When someone in a rational mind isn't go to seek revenge on the shooter knowing doing so would be near-certain death. Shooting an irrational man isn't a deterrent, it's a provocation. Instead of de-escalation it was escalation.
And a lot of the stuff you bring up, like maybe the door not being locked, is why officers all over the world are trained to utilize time. Gather that information when they have the ability to.
But I mean know we got the subtle racism popping in? Oh yeah those brown people are going to not lock the door and put themselves at risk because "#### the cops"? What? |
Why play the hypotheticals? You can't be serious.
The quoted part: And this truly shows how little you understand. That quote simply states that an Arwen can't be deployed unless there is cover from a lethal force option. Nothing more.
I won't addresss much more of the post because it's completely ridiculous and definitely shows how ignorant you are. At this point, I think you are just trolling with some of your comments. They are completely non-sensical.
WTF are you talking about? Racism? Seriously, step away. You've lost it.
And ya, people put themselves at risk everyday.
