I think the adreniline rush puts others in danger and it only takes a split second to make a big mistake

So then it comes down to Trim having killed no one at all.

Ah, but he certainly tried to, didn't he? There but for body armor could have been two dead LEOs.
I know that I'd have shot him, going for the kill, if he even shot AT me because he was making his intentions known.

 

[jimpeel]

Agreed. I'd have shot him also. The news had him guilty of the trooper's death prior to this revelation.

 

[Big Don]

You mean our press got something wrong?!
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!!

Agreed. Just because some of our guys get tragically FFed on the front lines doesn't mean that the bad guys get a free ride. (Assuming they were bad guys beforehand, and then chose to shoot at our boys).
