On a side note, I really like how people who have never been put in a life-threatening situation in their entire lives pretend like they know exactly how they would act... You have no idea how your emotions will wind up controlling your actions instead of your logic, no idea at all...

bingo. with the adrenaline, emotions, etc. in such a high stress/tense situation...very difficult to place yourself into that position and predict what you would've done given the circumstances. in my mind...not sure how close i'd want to get to a suspect that has been shot 6 times and is still coming forward.
