In this Thursday, June 4, 2015 photo, David Klinger, professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, stands in a neighborhood in south-central Los Angeles where he used to work as a police officer. Although he'd never been in a fight in school or afterward _ "I always have viewed trying to talk to people and reason with people as the best way to resolve things" _ Klinger concluded he could kill, if it meant he'd be saving the life of a fellow officer or innocent civilian. He would heed his training at the academy: "You only shoot if you absolutely have to." (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
