Suburban Shooting

  • Two police officers remained hospitalized Monday evening after being beaten by a man who was subsequently shot to death by police in south suburban Calumet City.

    [...] A 25-year-old female officer responding to the scene spotted the man outside of the building and exited her vehicle when the man approached and began beating her in the face, Gilmore said. A 41-year-old male officer attempted to intervene and he attacked him as well.

    Officers struck the man with a Taser twice, but it still did not subdue him, Gilmore said. He knocked the male officer to the ground and continued beating the female officer when the male officer drew his weapon and fired twice, fatally wounding the suspect.

Anyone else think that officers are being given too many force options to choose from and it's costing them precious reaction time?
