There's a slightly less retarded question they could ask: where was this officer's backup/partner? If the officers in this department are trained to be this hesitant to use lethal force, it might have been worth having backup to at least attempt a tazer or something else before shooting. If nothing else, they might be needed in case the first officer goes down.
heck, I was under the impression that cops almost always operate in pairs for safety. why was this one alone?
There was a mental health checkup that said 'they'em' were agitated so they sent this cop to check in person.
edit: WaPo mistakenly told me the cop was trained in social work so went by himself, but current article says his partner was just busy.
Retarded hypothetical.
Yes.
It's a ridiculous expectation for cops to place the safety of aggressors above their own. Asking for a partner to be in position for assistance is just a little wiser than the aforementioned common cries 'just shoot at non-vital body parts, bruh.'
