>thereby preventing further harm The original creation of the police was to create a deterrent, not to apprehend criminals. Prevention rather than cure.

When the police take a life we lose the ability to understand the detail of why that deterrent failed. The deterrent is more important that the cure.

Whilst the police have suspects, they don't have this one and everyone's motivations are slightly different. The death of this individual also creates a martyr for others on a similar path.

In my humble opinion they should have used a stun or smoke grenade.
