Indeed - he/she truly was the hero of the incident.
The Officer did exactly what he should have to end the situation.
If you think the cop has the right to put ten shots center mass and end the guy, then of course he has the right to just shoot the knee. He obviously succeeded and ended the threat. anger and ego on all sides being ignored, he didnât need to do anything more or anything less than what he did. He ended up fine, and faced no chargesâŠthough the guy with the screwdriver did try to sue.
I think it is good that this officer holds himself to a higher level of skill and used it to save everyoneâs life rather than be judge jury and executioner. Thatâs what I think all police and civilians should try to do.
Leo definitely took the high road so good on him for that. I wouldâve liked to seen him take his lid off with his stick personality. But hey,maybe the guy was full from lunch.
