Lots of reasons. A counter question would be, except out of rage and adrenaline, why would you shoot him?
Because he may still be armed? You know that he was willing to kill 5 seconds ago and no idea what other weapons he has
Sounds like cop logic — whatever leads to pulling a trigger.
Well, I am american.
Duh
“Just in case” doesn’t seem great justification. Keep his gun, keep it on him. That doesn’t mean you have to pull the trigger because of potentials. Granted, I didn’t go to American police school, so maybe this is wrong…
100% do not keep his gun unless you want to get shot by a cop who doesn’t know the situation and might shoot before understanding who is who because he thinks he is saving a civilian who is about to be executed.
There is that point. How are AU police in deescalation?
