I find it interesting that the 15 year veteran didn’t feel the need to shoot first and ask questions later.
The rookie told the kid to raise his hands. How do we know he wasn’t doing that? His hand was on the gun. We know this because the cop said he saw the kid put the gun in his waste band. So maybe he was taking his hand away from the gun in order to raise his hands. Whatever happened to “Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon!”
If cops are that jumpy they don’t need to be cops.
But, there’s no good thing about this. At least no puppies were killed.
FLAME AWAY!
“kid put the gun in his waste band. “
He had the gun in his underwear?
