Duuuuude, this is not murder, this is self-defense. . .
Sure, the police have multiple options but the action they took was the safest for anyone else but the veteran (the guy who got shot)

they knew that the dude was a veteran and have fought an actual war hence him having PTSD so he would've definitely wrecked some shit up if he did have a gun
