Thank you, I hadn’t heard this story as it’s not from my state and it shows that the institute of policing is flawed and filled without gun happy scared little monkeys in every country.
So? When situations like this occur in Australia our police will taze first. (unless you’re indigenous or POC…).
The police have other effective methods of stopping a violent person from running into other houses.
Wasn’t it just last week some cop in NSW gunned someone down for looking at him crossways?
Edit: my bad, it was 2 years ago that 4 cops went on a hunt and shot a guy in his own yard for wearing a hoodie. 2 days before Christmas. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-19/nsw-police-brad-balzan-inquest-st-marys/103600190

If the suspect raises the stakes to endangering life, half measures don’t cut it.
You have a gun out in front of an officer, I am not surprised when tensions rise and someone gets shot.
Shoot someone, who is not immediately threatening another person, in the back in Australia and you are going to jail even if you’re a cop.
America has a broken justice system and dysfunctional police.
