I have read that police officers don’t like people coming to the windows of their cars because they are trapped inside and vulnerable - that’s what just happened to the NYC officer - she was posted in a stationary vehicle and a schizophrenic man shot her through the window.
Maybe Noor was nervous because she came to his partner’s window but he must have already had his gun out as she approached - pulling it out of the holster in a seated position should buy him enough time to assess a threat - unless he was panicked about the time it took. Supposedly he heard a loud noise that startled him, but he could see clearly that neither he nor his partner were injured by the source of the noise.
Police horses and dogs are trained not to panic at noise - surely officers should have at least that much training.
Otherwise, Sudden Jihad it is.
That is what likely happened.
Never approach a cop unless they tell you to. They view you as a threat until proven otherwise, and will shoot first.
Scared him multiple trigger pulls.
I am not connected to police but in incidents that I have reported, I got the distinct impression that the responding officers are not told much by the dispatcher beyond the type of incident reported. If so, there may be police personnel safety reasons for this. This way, for example, it forces the responding officers not to make any assumptions going into an incident. However, in my experience, officers make assumptions anyway, and they are sometimes incorrect assumptions. I have been initially treated as a potential suspect at least 3 times in this manner, even though I was the reporting civilian.
If the shooting officer’s story is anywhere near true, then imho there is a procedural issue and a training issue.
