I thought we wanted our police to show judgement, courage, and the ability to discern threats...Yes, that would be a good thing.

Bad idea to publically release much less broadcast this encounter.
It could inadvertently become the “gold standard” for how a street officer is supposed to apply deadly force.
The defense lawyers and political activists are going to have a field day with this police body camera material. Not to mention all the absurd restrictions the district attorneys, police department legal advisors and trainers are going to think up based on these recordings.

I thought we wanted our police to show judgement, courage, and the ability to discern threats... I will add that we want them frankly, to take some risks, the kill rate for innocents and unarmed people is getting out of hand high, they can't continue this rate of killing us just to play it safe.

Well said.
In spite of all the people who have far lower expectations for law enforcement.

The guy is a Marine with a Purple Heart. If trust his judgement based on that.

If the criminal had already killed 2 others with a HANDGUN, and had his hands in his pocket, while running at the cop, I would have shot, had I been the cop.
To: 2harddrive
That correct reasoning seems to escape some people here.

“And he was right - and it wasn’t luck.”
So you’re saying the cop KNEW the perp didn’t have a gun in his pocket. Or, you’re saying that even if the perp had a gun in his pocket, the cop KNEW the perp wouldn’t use it on him. Do I have that right?
To: ansel12
He guessed right, that’s all.
To: ansel12
If this cop does his job with guesses, it wont be long before he guesses wrong.
To: Ronald_Magnus
If this ex-Marine combat vet and now cop, kills people when he doesn’t need to, then it will be time to remove him.
So far he seems sharp as a tack, with great instincts and courage.

John Kerry would never have made it through the process to become a Marine. They don’t take pussies.

This cop should be fired for not shooting. Sets a terrible unreal standard. Big mistake.
