I do not know their force continuum but when their life or another officer’s life is in danger deadly force should have been used. No question!

I thought you had to wait until the murder occurred in this land of justice before you could do anything? Most police agencies in other countries have a motto for the police: usually something like “serve and protect”. Since all the local police put on their car is “Fuerza Publica”, I didn’t think “serving” or “protecting” was part of their mandate. Could be wrong. A friend received threatening phone calls from a person she was aware of, had the phone number from where the call was placed; had witnesses as to threats made to her in person — police wouldn’t even take her statement, let alone do anything.
