And the cop was visible when the shooting started.
I don't think that is much of an issue regarding this shoot.
Then why did you make an issue of it by falsely stating that the officer wasn't visible?
Do you work at a dial an argument call center?
During the shoot the passenger side officer was moving out of the field of view and in fact left the field of view.
In fact the passenger side officer backing away would have likely been looking directly at the suspect, who appeared to have both hands raised up to about the height of his shoulders.
