He was the only officer running around back and forth- other officers are calmly walking.
There are people who can walk into a crowd of people and immediately have control, there are other people who can walk into a crowd and immediately escalate things- he is the latter.
He should have calmed down- look at the video again- he is the only officer running back and forth.
Was he among the first officers on the scene? That is my perspective. He was outnumbered and trying to establish control. The other officers arrived and were in a better position (numerically) to establish control.
The biggest question for me is whether he should have waited to “engage”, until he had more officers. Otherwise, I don’t see anything wrong with his actions. Clearly, the gun draw was an act of self-defense resulting from the 2 men approaching, aggressively from behind him.
You are COMPLETELY WRONG.
Two other officers RAN to chase the two suspects who had approached the officer handling the girl.
Did you not see that , or what ?
