Key part of this rule is "to DRAW a weapon and fire". I have


no issue with an officer maintaining distance and keeping their weapon drawn and aimed at a suspect, but there shouldn't be any need to fire the weapon unless the suspect makes an aggressive move. Whether that's 21' or 15'... they should maintain the necessary distance and only use deadly force when the suspect poses an imminent threat to the police or others.
