Tilton....

Check out "On Patrol Live"... same show as Live PD including 2 of the same hosts! I think its on REELZ network. (It comes with my DirecTV streaming).

You are also 100% on point.... its easy to armchair quarterback a lethal situation. Unfortunately, the kid was armed and in crisis. A no win situation for anyone. I am sure all who were involved feel horrible about the outcome. Especially the police officer. I am sure he didn't go into work that day thinking he was going to have to shoot a 17 year old.
