Here's a video of two PA state troopers trying to affect an arrest of a man stopped for suspected impaired driving. They eventually had to use a taser, but as you'll see, it had limited effect, and the guy ended up shooting both troopers.

The two posters who went through the police and FBI training programs provide a good description of why police shoot to kill. There is no shoot to wound - when faced with deadly force, it's your life, or the life of the assailent. |
If attacked with a knife (not talking a gun), you MAY? have enough time to run away, if you are fast enough. Fight OR flight, sometimes you have options.
