Gotta love our Florida Sheriffs! As a group I think they are the best of the best.
Who ever said the conduct/action was excessive just has a comic book concept of reality.
Thank you Lee County S.O.

Did he forget the offset between the sight and bore line at such a short distance (as I have been guilty of in a nonstressful range session myself)?

The deputy narrating the video said the suspect was hit in the center of his forehead. Could the shot have been better than that?

The negotiator had no idea what was going through the guys head at the moment, but knew what it would be shortly.

Most mics clip sound level or simply do not record the sound (gunfire) as it occurs outside the range of the audio logic/circuit.

And in some cases, the recording seems to sound like a duck quacking...
