drail, I am one my department's Firearms Instructors and we do not train our officers to draw with the intent to "kill". We train them to draw with the intent of stopping the crime from continueing. Even in a legitimate self defense situation if you let it be known that you drew with the intent to kill you may go from victim to suspect in the blink of an eye. You could be looking at manslaughter charges at the very least. There is the story that several decades ago an FBI Agent that was charged with murder because he stated under oath that they were trained to shoot to kill at the academy. I don't recal the outcome but is wasn't cheap either way. It may be fine for soldiers during wartime under orders but not for normal citizens. I'm gald everything turned out fine. It sounds as though the local police are aware of these deliquents and their actions.
