(SIDE CONVERSATION MADE INTO IT'S OWN THREAD - MODERATOR)
No criticism of the Phoenix Police officers who did a great job of handling the scene.
That said, in "woke" jurisdictions, I think concerns that an armed and violent suspect might potentially injure or kill members of the public are outweighed by political and perhaps public worry about about police use of force. While the suspect in Phoenix may have killed his original victim or take hostages in the open businesses if he wasn't shot, maybe he would not have. If he did commit some act of violence, I suppose elected officials and voters understood the consequences of "reimaging public safety" and were willing to pay that price in blood.
