Folks in that condition should not be in possession of a firearm. Someone in the family should have made certain of it.

“Shooting to kill is appropriate “whenever you feel a threat on your own life or when you’re protecting someone else’s,” Hamilton said.”

I can argue with that, in that it predicates execution on the subjective state of mind of the police, whenever he FEELS threatened.

I would say shooting to kill is never appropriate, but somtimes justifiable when there is an overt, immediate threat to life.
