    It is, unfortunately, not about the expediency of stopping the person, but not having a person to challenge their actions in court after being shot. They are far, far, more likely to have the shooting be judged as bad, in court, if they have a victim narrative during the trial. We have had many recordings of police, in training, being told to shoot, to kill, for this very reason.
