I was a street coo for 10 years.
Involved in two near-shoots (no weapons fired) and one shoot (weapon fired by the suspect - who was taken down, disarmed and arrested on a variety of charges).
The last was a career RN, emergency room nurse, who'd just had more than she could handle and wanted to suicide by cop.
Age doesn't matter nor does gender - a lethal threat is a lethal threat and you've often got only moments to make your choice then roll with it.
One of our sergeants wanted to write us up for not "following policy" and killing her after we got back to the station.
There was a private conversation about the write up and it didn't happen
If you're not there it's impossible to call it.
That's for the shoot team investigation and the DA to decide.
And for the officer or officers to live with afterward.
