because someone wounded can most definitely kill you if you give them time to return fire.
there was a story this week about a 12 yo in cleveland, shot and killed by police. he was in a park, pointing a pellet gun at people. someone called the cops, they responded. they told him three times to put his hands up. instead, he reached for the gun in his waistband, and was shot. who's at fault? well, the 12 yo was. is it a damned crying shame he's dead? yes. but will i second guess them on that? nope
