The female officer did not draw her gun "because she didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news". It is crazy that we are basing decisions off of the media and what they are going to say. It is hard for police officers in this generation to differentiate when to use a fire arm and when to use something of less bodily harm. The main rule when using a fire arm as a police officer is if they feel that they are going to experience great bodily harm. In this instance it is great to hear that an officer really thought about all of the consequence to using a firearm. In this instance everyone is still alive and the man was arrested.
