I believe you have quoted my original post. My angle is I WOULD NOT HAVE SHOT HIM. Nobody is going to change that. That is not passing judgment on anyone. Everything else has been responding to others.
I did not post about my loss to change or affect anyone's argument, just simply to say there is a side of this I do have a deep understanding of.
If I'm placed in that situation... noting the shooter isn't the driver, I would have shot him, as soon as I identified him reaching for a gun. There's no way around that. If I was the other officer, and I had to shoot a person because you didn't have it in you, after that situation was concluded, at the very least, I would never trust you my life or fellow officers lives, and if I could I'd try to have you dismissed from the department.
