Well, guess he won’t be pointing any more guns at police officers anymore.

"Well, guess he won’t be pointing any more guns at police officers anymore."

His biggest mistake wasn't the pointing of the weapon. It was not paying attention to the command to drop the weapon. The police did what they had to do. With all the school shootings lately.
A lot of children are not taught to obey the police. Right or wrong do what they say. If they tell you wrong there is a time to correct it later, after you obeyed their commands.
I honestly believe that when paddling was taken away from the schools, we lost control of the kids that needed discipline.

Normally I’m not a fan of the police, but in this instance, I don’t see that they did anything wrong. Many teenagers frequently do stupid things that can get them killed. Most of the time they get away with it, but in this instance, the thug wannabe didn’t.
