Delaware State Police investigating deadly trooper-involved shooting in New Castle County

    "While attempting to take the man into custody, he did not comply with multiple commands to stop, and he physically resisted when troopers tried to remove him from the car," a state police statement said.
    "Troopers shot the man when he continued to drive in a manner that placed officers in imminent danger," the statement continued.

    Why kill him, though? Why even try to pull him out of the car? Cops have the perp cornered in his car, so why didn't they let the air out of all four tires, and sit in the squad car eating doughnuts until he gets bored and gives up?
