Which is why we have trained police officers deal with these situations and not freaked out victims. > Chewing on someone's face is a seriously life threatening situation.

Every person has teeth, therefore by this logic, everyone who may use their teeth should be prepared to be shot with a gun. We generally also train police to take down people even wielding knives with less than deadly force. I sure as hell am glad you aren't a cop. > I only feel sorry for the guy as far as what must have gone wrong in his > life that got him to that point.

As stated earlier in the thread, there are many options available to try and remove a threat far short of using your gun. Batons, tasers, bean bag rounds, etc. No one was saying that the police shouldn't have stepped in to help the victim. They were saying that the police, in this case, seem to have skipped over a bunch of less lethal options and gone right to using their guns. Generally considered a mark of poor training.
