If you can't handle thinking about whether or not shooting someone is a good idea, you should probably hand in your badge before you ever have to make that call.

I respect where you're coming from, but at a certain point there has to be some sanity.  Now were getting into "yeh, he assaulted the police, stole a weapon, and threatened them with it but but but" territory.  This isn't a video game where you just start over.  The Chief shouldn't have resigned, the mayor shouldn't be posturing that this wasn't a justifiable use of force.  The officer should be on administrative leave (per protocol) until the investigation is concluded but again, the idea that this is being folded into the larger narrative of "police hunting black bodies" is asinine and dangerous.
