I think it's asinine that when a law enforcement officer, who is tasked with responding to civilian complaints ('man brandishing a handgun'), who searches for that man for nearly 24 hours, and when they find and confront the man, the man fires at an officer, with the bullet striking the driver's door of the police vehicle and the officer, who then returns fire defending himself, strikes the man, incapacitating him and, ultimately, resulting in the death of that man. The results of the investigation, which will be turned over to the local prosecutor to see if any charges against the officer are 'warranted', with the attitude or insinuation that somehow the officer did something wrong in his response to the situation that he was placed in in the course of his duties! That somehow, when the dude with the gun fires on an officer in the course of his duties, that officer is not supposed to defend him/herself and that if the bad guy dies as a result, that somehow the involved office should be charged with a crime? (It's a long-winded sentence, but it covers it!)
