The way I understand the police comments is that if they see you with a gun in hand they will shoot immediately!
After they have to be sure of their safety.
The officer ought be fired and prosecuted as should his bosses in the police department.
He was just chasing a criminal the cops didn’t want to chase.
We can’t have peple supposing they are free citizens with the authority to make a citizen’s arrest, now can we?

Back in te day they used to just call that 'shoot first and ask questions later'!
The officer ought be fired and prosecuted as should his bosses in the police department.

That’s what should happen.
What will happen is; the shooter will get an extra two weeks of paid vacation while the cops “investigate”. Then they will say the shooter did nothing wrong, the victim was at fault, and they will all go back to work just like before.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
