In my law enforcement career I was fortunate enough to witness a few of these firsthand but they all ended with less than lethal fortunately. They are happening more and more and it’s very frustrating when folks say “oh they should have shot his foot or shot the gun out of his hand”.
To add some humor I did get to witness a man once attempt suicide by cop by taking a dairy cow hostage with a butcher knife in a field saying if we didn’t shoot him he’d kill the cow. Assisting agency beanbagged him twice and he was a wreck. I got to see him the day after when he was changing for arraignment and those bean bag rounds messed him up pretty severely.
