Calling a bluff

I support the Ohio police is killing this man. Undoubtedly, there will be a flood of soppy-eyed bleeding hears claiming illegiimate killing, but I think they erred on the side of caution to hospital patients. The man claimed he was going to kill one of them, made a move toward an are where he might have a weapon. Should the officers waited until he had the weapon drawn on a person or them ... I think not.

For the families of the officers in the shooitng, I prematurely offer my sympathy for the crap you'll have to endure with those who would rather a robber shoot their family, than fatally defend their family. If somebody comes in to hurt your family ... like the man recently charged with killing a family, leaving two alive who he kidknapped and raped, then killed the boy. The girl was fortunate enough to survive the weeks of rape and made a break when the felon brought her inside a restaurant with him.

Would you stand by and let him take your kids and kill your family? Hell no you wouldn't! If you were a reasonable person you would grab the nearest weapons -- lamp, chair, pencil and charge after him, stopping at nothing but your death or his.

For the Ohio police stopping a man who would, likely have later done more crime, of a more violent nature, I salute your quick action in bringing down the man. The officers tried a stun gun, but it was ineffective. They tried, but the suspect clearly wasn't going to stop.
