        If they can be accurate enough to shoot to kill why cant they just shoot to harm/disable?

        You should learn about guns. No one is that good.

        There has to be some other non-lethal action that can be taken. This happens too often.

        Respectfully, I am sure both officers would prefer it hadnt happened either. Tactically perhaps theres another option
