Rather than shoot someone with a 9 mm, subdue them with a beanbag. Professional and appropriate response by police. Good job. That's the way to do this sort of thing. Thank you Boston Police.

Actually, the second incident did not include a bean bad shotgun, according to this story. Instead one cop tackled the guy when he was distracted by a second cop, a sergeant.

This should be standard practice.
