Deadly force states what a reasonable officer would do in the situation, not a reasonable civilian


Deadly force can be used when the officer believes there is a threat of death or serious bodily arm to him/her self or others. Pit Bulls weigh up to 80lbs. Could a charging, aggressive pit bull weight 1/3-1/2 of the officers weight be deemed a threat to his and others in the areas safety? Id certainly think so. Question is how controlled was he/she, and the other officers when they discharged their weapons.
