I think I've identified the root cause of your symptoms.Would you be saying the same thing about this had the guy not been a sworn officer? If it were one of us pleb civilians?

If this weren't an LEO shooting, would you still be singing the same tune?
I was wondering if this thread was going to stay between the ditches.
The comparison to a civilian shooting is irrelevant, because a civilian doesn't have to approach and cuff the suspect after a self-defense shooting. The civilian gets to run away and let somebody else clean up the mess. The cops don't have that benefit. Their job doesn't end until the person is under control, disarmed, and in custody. Key difference.You never said it, but apparently officers are to be without any questioning...which is why I pose a question:

Some people care more about face and fronting than their own lives. Don't care if they get caught in a shootout or not, the more important thing is for everyone to know that nobody tells them what to do.One of the most interesting aspects of the video to me was the reaction of the bystanders in the store when the officers came in and told them to exit. Some seemed more motivated to leave than others. Gray shirt and dreadlocks guy was in no hurry to go. Granted his face was blurred, but based on his body language he seemed more annoyed than anything. He actually paused on his way to the door and was directly behind one of the officers. I got the sense he was thinking something along the lines of, "**** this ************ right here."
