Why is it one or the other though? Try to apprehend him without killing him. There were two cops there right? There are a thousand different ways to proceed without shooting a man in the back and killing him. And ultimately, if it comes down to the only two options being kill him, or he escapes, then yes the option of him escaping is the better option, because, y'know, nobody has to die because a drunk guy fell asleep at a [BLEEP] wendies.

A man who physically attacked the cops who politely tried to arrest him, who took a weapon from them, who turned around and shot at them with it, is not a person who should be allowed to get away. Fight and shoot at the cops and you get killed, this is not rocket science except to people who continually want to excuse escalating criminal behavior. This "poor poor criminal who didn't deserve what he earned himself" is getting tiresome to people who would never consider doing the things he did to get shot. Obey the law, don't fight the cops, damn well don't use a weapon against them...this isn't complicated unless you have some ulterior motive to excuse the behavior of the criminals.

And oh, hey, let's burn down the [BLEEP] Wendy's like it was their fault. Christ this is getting ridiculous.
