“What happens to you if you don’t shoot first:”
I read a study somewhere that concluded that when an officer is shot, it is usually by a person with a gun, and remarkably, they can find no cases of a person without a gun shooting a police officer.
He who hesitates dies on the side of the interstate drowning in his own blood.
“and remarkably, they can find no cases of a person without a gun shooting a police officer.”
Your trite opinion ignores that hundreds of cops have died when they were incorrect about a person being “without a gun”. It isn’t as binary as you think....with, without.
There are people who work very hard to convince you that they have a gun when they don’t. Others look like they have a gun, and its an innocent situation like a toy. And yet others have a gun and are carefully leading you to believe that they don’t.
This 275 pounder 6 foot plus size jackass was high on PCP and could have done anything.
Despite todays hit movies, he was not someone that a any normal cop would be able to subdue.
With all the variables, tragic outcomes happen in the margins. Cops get shot, and a few innocents get shot.
