Maybe criminals should quit doing stupid things that endanger the lives of officers and the public and they wouldn't get shot?  Let's recap this last one, dragging an officer in a car, dragging the police K9, trying to leave in a stolen vehicle, three violations of the no contact order, multiple warrants.  Next he may have killed the female that had the order against him.  I'm not sure I'm seeing where the police went wrong here.  

This is not excessive force this is the unfortunate sign of the times on our streets due to political correctness and prosecutors and courts excusing the actions of the criminals.

I can tell you how this guy wouldn't have gotten killed.  Stop, hands up, comply with officers, go to jail.  Get out before the paperwork is done and start the process over.
