Uh Oh.............DC Police Department has started the round up

I hate that the woman died, nobody should have died there. But for curiosity sake, what are your opinions on use of force when someone is climbing through your window? Judging from past ODT posts about defending your homes, most of y'all woulda shot no questions asked.

Someone attempts to climb in my home, I'm shooting. I have no idea who they are or what their intetions are so I'm obligated to assume the worst for the security of my family. If I was alone and it was clearly an unarmed woman, I'd pimp slap her back out of the window.
But if I'm an LEO guarding public property and surrounded by ARMED fellow LEO and an unarmed woman not posing any physical threat is attempting to climb through an interior window door, I might cuff her and be done with it. If I really thought it 'could' escalate into violence, I'd shove her back through the window. Shooting her point blank in the face/chest would be no where on my list of "what to do now?".
