Only thing better would have been if he had first shot him in the dick, let him bleed out for a while, then shot him in the face.
I hope that officer gets the highest of commendations.
They said officers ordered the 25-year-old man to stop beating the woman and was shot one time in the chest when he refused.

Then again, you already said pooh.
Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner.
But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn.
He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
"He wants my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, 'Here you go,'" Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."
The would-be robber looked at his would-be victim, "like what's going on here?" Diaz says. "He asked me, 'Why are you doing this?'"
Diaz replied: "If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then I guess you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me ... hey, you're more than welcome.
"You know, I just felt maybe he really needs help," Diaz says.
Diaz says he and the teen went into the diner and sat in a booth.
"The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi," Diaz says. "The kid was like, 'You know everybody here. Do you own this place?'"
"No, I just eat here a lot," Diaz says he told the teen. "He says, 'But you're even nice to the dishwasher.'"
Diaz replied, "Well, haven't you been taught you should be nice to everybody?"
"Yea, but I didn't think people actually behaved that way," the teen said.
Diaz asked him what he wanted out of life. "He just had almost a sad face," Diaz says.
The teen couldn't answer Diaz — or he didn't want to.
When the bill arrived, Diaz told the teen, "Look, I guess you're going to have to pay for this bill 'cause you have my money and I can't pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I'll gladly treat you."
The teen "didn't even think about it" and returned the wallet, Diaz says. "I gave him $20 ... I figure maybe it'll help him. I don't know."
Diaz says he asked for something in return — the teen's knife — "and he gave it to me."
Afterward, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, "You're the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch."
"I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It's as simple as it gets in this complicated world."

The Daily Record (Rick Fulton)
TORCHWOOD star John Barrowman rugby-tackled a would-be-thief in a hotel.
The 44-year-old was in the Radisson Blu in Glasgow city centre when he heard a scream.
A woman and her husband had woken up to find two boys ransacking their room in the early hours of yesterday.
John tackled one of the fleeing teens along with the concierge.
The thief punched the hotel worker before the Doctor Who star was able to bring him to the ground and subdue him. John had arrived in the hotel minutes earlier.
John said: "The concierge was trying to sort my air conditioning. We heard this woman scream and shout, 'Stop him, stop him.' We saw this young boy running down the hallway. I told the concierge to chase him and called the hotel operator and told them to block the staircase so we could get him.
"I grabbed the kid's ankles, yanked him to the ground and then pulled him out into the hallway. I pinned him down.
"My tour manager then arrived and the three of us held him down until the police came." Cops are checking CCTV to find the second thief, who escaped.
He told the Record: "It was sad. He was only 14 or 15. I think he was on drugs. But I'd like to find out the boy's story and give him a second chance. Maybe he could work in the pantomime over Christmas to give him a sense of responsibility."
