That is my question. Was the shooting warranted? They could have let him run and corralled him in a chase. The guy was not armed with a gun shooting bullets or even a knife as far as I know.

Frankly, I think everyone and I mean everyone has been set on edge by the long pandemic lockdown. I feel a little crazy, not quite myself, and am missing normal human contact. The police all over the country have been under enormous stress. I really cannot imagine. Unfortunately they must make sometimes deadly decisions in the blink of an eye which end up causing tragic results, some of which are justified, others not.
