#1 Anyone think that maybe some law enforcement has seen enough of its own killed by 'abnormal' people who basically get off punishment that some in the ranks are going to take no chances?

#2 Sadly true, Procopius2k. While controllable at 4’ tall and 50lb, the same behaviours at 6’ tall and 250 lb can be dangerous to all around them, no matter how unintended the harm. From the article about a previous boy they killed:

The autistic boy had threatened family members at a home in Victorville and then chased a responding deputy with a garden hoe.

No blame, but that’s the reality.
