Don't hesitate -- using deadly force

This video was taken from PoliceOne.com. This man stole a car which had a baby inside.  It turns from grand theft auto, kidnapping, to hostage taking.  The suspect was eventually was killed by police, justifiably I might add -- at least from all the footage I saw before the shooting occurred. Sadly, he could have killed the baby-hostage. It's difficult to Monday morning quarterback because I don't have all of the facts, but this video shows enough facts that it would have been totally warranted, and tactically necessary, to end the man's life far before he grabbed the baby out of the car seat. Just one move could have ended the baby's life.

Sometimes, in tactical scenarios, officers don't know how to act because they haven't trained for it tactically, or they haven't yet visited that moment in their minds. Thankfully, I've had a lot of SWAT and tactical training. I thought where I'd shoot him, and how. I carefully analyzed the background, too. A buddy and I watched this together -- he also has SWAT experience. Both of us were chomping on the bit: shoot him already!

Thankfully, the baby didn't get killed. And, thankfully, the baby won't remember this incident and suffer from PTSd for years to come.
