This war veteran didn’t want to be kill the man because you think the man deserves it anyway.

Then you tell a story of some guy having charged you, and did what?

I assume that you wish that you had killed him, did he even touch you?, you sound a little panicky to me.

The cop could have easily shot the suspect and been easily justified.

But the fact dispatch previously advised the suspect might want to be killed by cops and the fact the suspect was telling the officer several times to shoot him, likely played a role here. Any cop could have simply shot the suspect to death.

I think we need more officers like one.

The difference in my situation is that the druggie stopped and then back off at my commands.

The cop stated that the criminal was in his face. That is way too close and then to add to his situation, the cop fell. This cop is very lucky that the criminal didn’t grab the his gun and shoot him with it before backup arrived.
