Miss, you are indeed making those statements from a relaxed place if you are talking about shooting him in the leg or foot. That makes for great TV on shows like Person of Interest, where the hero shoots ten people in the leg in a matter of seconds. Pretty cool, huh?

But as you should know from your "resume", law enforcement programs and even civilian gun defense classes do not train people to try stunts like that in real life. Instead they all train shooters to aim for center mass, for reasons too numerous to list here but which include adrenaline spiking and poor aim under stress, gun kickback, the need to fully disable a dangerous perp, etc.
As far as the rest, she was almost off the video herself and it was a tiny office. How can any of us know what he was doing? He couldn't have been more than a few feet from her. You're really suggesting that she wait until he turns around and gets within arms reach to defend herself? Just so you know, though I'm sure you must with the "resume" you have in these matters, that's yet another thing that LE and others are taught not to allow in these situations.
More than anything though Miss, I am amazed at those who want to shift the blame from the person who was most at fault for all of this going down in the first place, which was the dirtbag himself.
If he wasn't a serial thief, he wouldn't have been in this spot in the first place.
Even if he was a serial thief, but he didn't try to leave others in the lurch in an effort to flee from the consequences of his own crimes, he wouldn't have been in that bails bondsman's office in the first place and he would still be alive.
Even if he was both a thief and a flight risk, he would yet still be alive if he hadn't flipped his shit when she revoked his bail.
Beyond that I'd say fuck him and good riddance again, but it's Sunday and I feel like I should be a good Christian for at least one day of the week.
