        I am progressive in politics; however, if I were cop and that gun were pulled, I would have shot him, most likely.

        that's a good question...what is taught is aim for "center mass". Many reasons for this but it's not to "kill"

        #1 reason is because under stress it's difficult for even best marksman to strike a small target.

        the point taught is to "stop the threat". Proper training doesn't include kill or no kill shots.

        you should join your police department's Citizens Academy (most large agencies have them) and get insight into it. 👍🏻

        Braxton's account and your write-up contradict each other. He says they both complied, then King got up and ran.
