Another great example is the Toronto cop who refused to shoot the road-rage guy.  He was looking for suicide-by-cop and didn't get it.  The cop, on the other hand, showed an impressive degree of control by not shooting.

I wouldn't shoot a suspected terrorist whose finger/fingers may be on a detonator for a bomb either. I'd wait, speak with and listen to him while using my brain to determine whether or not there's a bomb ( a greater risk ) inside the van too. I guess using vehicles as weapon to kill people is no longer exclusive to crazed/rabid groups and crazy people associated with radical Islam. BTW, Doss refused to carry a gun because killing went against his particular religious beliefs. I know who he was and I saw what he did to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor. I saw the movie Hacksaw Ridge.
