Do police ever justify why when they're in a standoff with a person who doesn't have a hostage and can't hurt anyone else why they must breech and clear and murder them other than their bloodlust? We have gasses that can knock people out or maybe put some tranquilizer on those drones and robots they love to bomb people with. Hell even starving/thirsting them out is an option. A lot of the time these are mentally unwell people who just need help. Just something I was wondering because I never see it brought up when it happens.

Yeah it's just crazy to me. Like this happened to a person in my area who got wellness checked and when they booted in the front door she shot a round off upstairs through a different door. At this point I don't think there was anything this poor lady could of done to live through this.They waited like 30 minutes and then swiss-cheesed her. And her crime before police arrived was someone was worried about her.
