"Now you will far far more likely have to hold a person at bay for police than shoot them."
If I have drawn and not fired I want the perp to hit the road. Trying to hold him for police would just make him desperate enough that I might have to shoot. The police always call for backup when holding a perp at bay. If faced with being shot or getting out I think most perps will leave. The police can capture him and the Persecuting Shysters Office can try to put him in jail. I have no delusions that I am Supercop, and given the choice between maybe having to shoot him and running him off, I will take the latter.
