Sincerely, I am so tired of hearing the inane "shoot to wound" argument. It's been thoroughly debunked I don't know how many times and it still keeps getting repeated.
I don't think anyone expects an officer to "shoot to wound" if a gun/knife/axe-wielding person is bull rushing the officer.
But this woman was sitting when she was shot 5 times. The officer had disengaged.
But in point of fact officers do shoot to wound-

--sometimes before properly working to de-escalate.

So it is a thing.
