Where would you propse they shoot them? Major arteries run through the entire human body and being shot in the leg for example, could sever an artery that bleeds a person out in less than a minute. Also, if an officer has made the discision to shoot a suspect then they typically pose an armed threat.  If you wound someone with a gun then they can cntinue to shoot at you or the public.

I am pondering whether people would take police derective more seriously if the threat of force was more common.  I beleive in a free and just society in which my civil liberties are not trampled on but I also have began to feel that there may be to much understanding and leniency from our government and society. Perhaps if there were harsher physical reprecutions for illegal acts then there would be less crime? Just a thought.
