But cops are being "trained" to shoot to KILL.
Bottom line is...the guy was unarmed. The cop should be able to deal with him without murdering him...unless the guy gets the cop down on the ground and goes for the cops weapon.
Are all these cops unable to handle what a bouncer at a bar handles on a nightly basis?

Wrong. Cops are trained to stop the threat. Trained to shoot center mass. Everywhere.
The use of force is a complicated thing to accomplish, especially in the heat of the moment when the human mind is in a fight or flight state.
While some folks with no training in these matters sit here and armchair this guys decisions, I have actually been trained in the use of force by the DOD and by the POST academy in California. I believe Sperber is also a former LE, so maybe he can reply too.
There is no winner.
