It would be nice to know more details. Myself Having served two weeks on a shooting inquest to see whether or not the officer was justified in killing a kidnapper lots of things in play. Lots of LEOS seem ready to shoot these days but then that may just be because of the internet every incident gets played up. Crappy day all round... and rifles can be pretty intimidating removing the "safety margin" of a ballistic vest.

Its really interesting what the media has done to the LE community. LOD deaths by aggressive action are actually way down, but coverage is at an all time high. Its almost like the media wants LEOs to be spooked and/or encourage idiots to be aggressive toward LE.
I understand that media wants to show police that people arent happy, it raises awareness. But, there are some unintended consequences with the way things are covered.
