As an aside, I don't agree with the use of immediate lethal force even

Yes, it is a generalization but in many cases it would work. Have you
ever watched Live PD when it was on?

Do you realize that "Live PD" is a TV show, and doesn't bear
any relationship to real policing or real life. Real life would be far
too boring for the type of people who watch that type of mindless
programming.

Sure it is TV but taken in real life situations. I have relatives and a
couple of friends that are police and they run into similar situations
on a regular basis. Those situations do occur every day.
