If you see him reach to kill or take a hostage - then you have to shoot. But, if it is only him and you and plenty of room and no crowd near - then why not just try evasion. The military does not always hold ground just to hold ground, sometimes that do a strategic retreat. I am sure there are occasions where Police could and should retreat. I am saying that retreat is just ONE other possible strategy!

You are SO out of touch with the reality of what the police go through dealing with violent people.
