Did he have any less lethal options on him? Taser, OC, baton, anything? There are times where guns just don't work. At least in the civilian LE world.

I just renewed my taser instructor last week. We got to play around with the new Taser 12 gauge round. A five second Taser ride hurts, but getting hit with the 12 gauge Taser round is really gonna suck.

I suspect if we get them in time we'll take them to the DNC in August. Talk about a crowd control tool. Step out with a 12 gauge, pop off a round, watch the perp drop, and see what reaction the crowd around him has.
