Leos do not run from dangerous situations - period! They are there to protect the public. The 21 foot designation is not written in stone. It is a guideline. Running away, warning shots, targeted body part shots are not acceptable actions. It's quite obvious you have never had training in life threatening situations. Decisions are made in a split second and you have to live with the choices after the action is over. These officers want to go home at the end of their shift like the rest of us. The criminals action dictates the outcome.
