There are obviously cases where police go to far or where they could have shown much more restraint like the Chauvin case. But watching this body cam footage, I don't see how you could make any other choice but to shoot in this scenario. Is it still unfortunate? Absolutely. But having just arrived on scene and what literally could possibly be one person killing another in front of you with seconds to decide, how do you not pull the trigger in this instance? In any confrontation, you run the risk that it escalates to a point where if law enforcement shows up, there is a high likelihood of shots being fired. Situations obviously aren't completely under anyone's control, but if you're a bystander or a friend or a family member, you better make damn sure you've done what you can to de-escalate something before the risk of shots being fired gets too high. We obviously don't know what led up to this, but if someone would have clobbered her with a chair earlier, a head wound and some broken bones is preferable to someone dying.
And then if he misses because those are small and hits the victim. No way to win there really

Pigs blood at a persons assumed personal residence.
Calls for "confrontation", ie. violence, if a guilty plea not reached.
Jury pool fears about retribution.
The jurors receiving police protection out of fear of what might occur.
Tell me again they weren't scared shitless? Or you're implying their utter morons who don't know what's going on with the 24/7 coverage splattered by all media sources? Or they don't see and are subjected to enhanced security measures because of the outcome they will deliberate on?
Get the fuck out of here.
