Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone for a second what the cops did. From the way it sounds they were waiting in ambush and opened fire the moment they saw a gun. Cops have many things they can use to diffuse a situation like that without using deadly force. But then again its hard to know what happened without actually being there. We’ll hear the full truth soon I hope.
You are right, they should have had especially family men go in there and say, “Hey disband and don’t shoot, my son needs his day”.
Sure that would work.
Or offer them a coupon for a ham sandwich if they left.
