Shoot "Em Instead?

The Supreme Court is interfering in the “minute-to-minute” maybe lifesaving decisions a cop must make in an instant during a stop. They are not on the scene and don’t know anything about the decisions he/she must make to preserve his/her own life if a subject attacks, especially if that subject is much bigger than the cop. Would they rather the cop SHOOT the subject, rather than use a stun gun on him? Frankly, I’d much rather he use a stun gun on me rather than shoot me (of course, I'm smart enough not to attack a cop). It’s always a problem when people who are NOT “on the scene” attempt to “second-guess” the cops, especially BEFORE something happens. (New York Times)
