> Sure, if there is a real situation like that, the officer needs to use force. If the officer does get to shoot, say, not at point blank range, then the officer should shoot for a limb and wound enough to win the fight but not necessarily shoot to kill. Please take a self-defense class. You should never "shoot to wound", you should shoot to stop, always at the center of mass. Shooting to wound, as at a limb, is very difficult and error-prone, and a miss can easily wound bystanders or damage property.
