Wino, Wino, Wino... (Sigh). You know better than this.
Rescue, Rescue.... Rescue.

He used 'deadly force' (we call it lethal force) knowing that the result might, in fact, be lethal.
Of course he did, but that wasn't the point now was it? He used the necessary force to STOP his assailant and no more, isn't that the point that you have so graciously reinforced with the following statement?
Quote:
He very correctly applied that lethal force until the threat was neutralized, and then he stopped applying that level of force. Great! All that training we've been beating into their heads is working! That the offender lived is testament to the officer's training, experience - and a good medical staff at the local trauma center.

I won't even address your use of the word 'execute' because others have already shamed you for it.
I must have missed the shaming, because I don't feel a one bit of shame.
But while we are in the mood for shaming, I would suggest comparing and contrasting Officer Jesse Kidder righteous application of necessary force with that of Officer Jason Van Dyke's application of lethal force and tell me if you see a difference.
That cop is going to get himself or someone else killed. He should have doubled tapped him in the chest. Sorry first order of business is to put down this idiot and not worry about bullet placement or how many. This is more of the pusification of America.
This always sounds so ignorant to me. All I can picture is Burt Gummer.
Ohio police officer Joshua Hilling applies enough deadly force to stop a suspect, survive the encounter and make the arrest of a man suspected of murder.
Murderer attacks cop with a knife at close range. Quite clearly the cop should shoot to kill. Sorry, but there are no second chances in scenarios like this. I'd rather have the cop go home safely.

It happens all the time. There was no luck involved here. The science behind this was explained earlier.
Okay friend. Luck is a factor in any deadly encounter. Time/distance are everything in these situations.
I'd rather have 10,000 dead murderers than one dead cop. Guy with knife = Deadly force. Respond in kind.
