If a cop can’t handle a traffic stop in a gas station without shooting an unarmed man who was obeying his orders, then the cop needs to find a new line of work. I’ve been in combat, I’ve had a drunk guy try to come in thru a window, and I haven’t panicked and shot anyone yet.

Cops don’t have the right to shoot because there is a 1% chance that someone is doing something bad. They actually need some REASON to be afraid.

As a CCW kind of guy, I also cannot shoot someone just because they seem to be following me, or even just because they shout threats at me. I would need to wait until there was a viable threat to my life. There is a reason the cops have fired this guy!

Exactly what kind of combat were in in where you never "shot anyone yet"? And, you, my FRiend, are not the judge of whether there is "1% chance that someone is doing something bad." So, like I said...go out there and protect AZ with your idiotic, self-aggrandizing, indestructible, mental attitude (unarmed and unwilling to shoot), and we'll watch for you in the news.
