We discussed this a little while driving from install to install on Friday.
Once lethal force is authorized / warranted is there really much difference

A motivated individual can run 200 feet in 8 or 9 seconds. If he's wearing
some kind of body armor he can possibly get further before being brought
down. Add some kind of shrapnel to the explosives and now you've got a lot
of projectiles flying toward the officers that were previously shooting at
the bad guy.

Call it the nuclear option if you will.

Why blow up a perp?
Why not keep talking?
Better to have him caged for the rest of his life IMHO.
