Suspect had switched license plates. Trooper told the deceased what would happen if he went for the gun. Dude didn't listen and the rest is history. The trooper and deputy were calm and did a good job.

No doubt an excellent job by the Trooper and the Deputy.

Surprised there was anything left to perform CPR on, but it looked good for the camera, lawyers, etc.
I'm guessing the round struck center mass. Good shot. I could also see a contact shot to temple being effective like the one used in the famous Ohio state trooper fight and OIS. Wish they would've had body cams to see inside. Most of all, I'm glad they went home to their families that night.

There is no question about the shooting for me. It was justified and I'm glad that both officers were safe. It takes a special kind of stupid to want to try to take on two armed officers who have a superior tactical position on you.
But I was struck by a comment in the news report. "For more than 1/2 hour, Manderino answered questions about where he was going..."
That struck me as odd. I understand that the officers may not have liked the answers that they were getting or the explanation about who the owner of the car was. But a half an hour? Even allowing time for computer lookups in DMV, etc., it seems like a very long time on the side of the road without a more decisive action on the part of the officers.
The reason that I ask is that it would seem that the more a person feels cornered and like the world is closing in on them, the more desperate they might become. There appeared to be plenty of opportunity to keep the suspect separated from his vehicle where a weapon could have been hidden and that allowing him to re-enter the vehicle with strong suspicions that his stories did not check out was not a wise choice.
What am I missing?

Suicide by cop, I guess.

I don't like that term. I have one, but it would not be appropriate for this forum. Whatever happened to them doing it themselves?
