I wonder if a male officer would have needed to shoot him or if this guy is another victim of the push to hire female officers? I'd have probably shot the guy too. Swinging a chair is going to bring a lot more momentum than a simple nightstick or ASP is going to be able to block.

From what you have read, could pepper spray or taser worked in this situation? I remain concerned about the tendencies, especially in larger departments to use lethal force over other means, something not seen nearly as much in smaller towns.
