Police will tell you that knocking people out isn't an exact science, especially when there might be other drugs to involved or preexisting health conditions.
It's bullshit though - it's not like bullets are an exact science! Or even just wait them out.
They don't because the police are trained to prioritize their own lives and safety. They'll dream up all sorts of scenarios where using anything other than maximum force will result in an officer getting hurt or killed, even when this is extremely unlikely. They would rather kill everyone else than risk the slightest chance of injury, let alone death.
Yeah it's just crazy to me. Like this happened to a person in my area who got wellness checked and when they booted in the front door she shot a round off upstairs through a different door. At this point I don't think there was anything this poor lady could of done to live through this.They waited like 30 minutes and then swiss-cheesed her. And her crime before police arrived was someone was worried about her.
