It wasn't for a belt and two shirts, it was for attempted murder of police officers. Yes, the interaction might have started with simple shoplifting, but the suspect began firing at police officers.
The home was destroyed after a 19 hour stand off with a intoxicated subject who continued to take meth throughout the standoff, during which the suspect continued to fire at police, and after which the suspect was apprehended alive. I'm trying to think of a more justifiable use of force outside of a hostage situation, but I'm having trouble thinking of one.
