I agree, but the police department should give them more options regarding personal protection.

In this case, the guy was using drugs, so I guess he did choose.

Hypothetically speaking, if this guy had not taken drugs, but was just mentally unstable beyond his own control, then there should be more options than hitting and shooting.
