The cops responded to a call of an armed robbery in progress and at the scene the now dead perp drew and fired an authentic looking Airsoft pistol at the cops at close range inside of the restaurant. All witnessed by the Burger King employees. This was in close quarters with a fraction of a second to react. He wasn’t just shot for carrying a gun.
The three cops reacted as I would suspect anyone would in that situation and eliminated the threat. The crew member who was killed had positioned himself, inadvertently, in a bad spot inside a small enclosed environment. Just listening to the news conference that includes the police chief and the producer of Cops. They laid out very clearly what happened and what was witnessed.
30 shots. 30?
Are you out of your mind? ANY soldier or Marine with few month’s training doesn’t rounds like that on one adversary. This is an astounding reaction from supposedly well-trained peace officers working around citizen bystanders.
More like cowardice.
