Another thing, in the [Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/controversial-encounters-between-law-enforcement-and-civilians-the-omnibus-thread-2/912531) thread there are a lot of cops who say they shot a guy with a sandwich because they were in fear for their lives.
