Don't want shot ?
There should be no reason for an "alternative " . If you are not doing anything wrong then you shouldn't
get shot . If the bad guy knows you aren't going to kill him and he has a gun do you think he won't try to kill the cop ? When you want to engage using deadly weapons you know the consequences .I'm pretty sure no cop wants to kill someone but not so sure the other way around . The alternative may work in certain conditions but when a split second could mean getting killed then firepower is the alternative .
