Warning shot? Really?

That is strictly prohibited by EVERY OTHER AGENCY in the law enforcement world. In real police work, you only draw your weapon when there’s a threat. If you think a warning shot is ok, then there’s no threat. Warning shots don’t meet that standard.

While I’m not defending that POS in anyway, there was no where for him to fire one even if that were SOP and he wanted to. Concrete everywhere. No telling where that ricochet would go.

And not only that, all lower levels of force must be precluded. Why no hands on arrest? Why no pepper spray? Why no baton or taser? This shooting was 100% illegal.
