Clearly processing criminals through the justice system is a better example then unnecessarily shooting someone.

M.E.'s have a job to do too.
My, but you're a polite fellow. You're just so nice. I wish I could be that nice... but... I'm not. The one thing that
all of God's creatures understand is fear of pain & death.
If you're holding any sort of weapon in your hand, you're just going to die - that's all there is to it. No,
book 'em Dano. No Marshal Dillion,
drop that hogleg! You're just a dead, dumb mofo. But if when I yelled,
Freeze azzhat!... if Mr. UNARMED Criminal instantly dropped to his knees and began begging God that I should spare his life, I would - I'm at least that nice. But a tired, sleepy, grumpy man is not in the mood to be f'ed with late at night. The fellow who was attempting to break into my car years ago (after triggering the silent alarm), I didn't shoot him. I just told him that if he woke me up again, screwing around with my Jag, I'd walk up behind him, put a .40 cal in his brain... and go back to bed. Was I holding a Glock 22 with the laser on his head? Yes. Would I have really shot him? Not unless he spun or charged me. Did he know that? No. Was my car ever touched again? What do you think?
You're unique, to say the least, in your tolerance for those who are breaking the law, entering the homes of others. During a B&E, my assumption would be that you're there to do me harm. If that's not your intention, you'd have about 3 seconds to convince me otherwise. I'm not bloodthirsty, but one way or another, I'll get a good night's sleep.
In short, if you don't
closely resemble Salma Hayek wearing black lace panties, you better
not be in this joint late at night. And even if you resemble Senorita Hayek, don't crawl in through the bathroom window.
