“I just want to know what the officer was thinking when he saw Crooks with an AR and didn’t do more than run to his rifle.”
Was the officer supposed to use harsh language?

I posted earlier if he fired his pistol a few times the overwatch would have at least heard it. The officer dropped down from the roof when Crooks turned to him. If he had fired a few rounds from his pistol I think it would be reasonable to assume the overwatch and anyone else nearby would be alerted. Whether the overwatch would have taken action is another story.
No law against it, but it does ‘t get the job done.
His brain should have made him send an alert. It did but a rather primitive one that is at a loss for words. Limited intelligence/experience.
I dunno maybe discharge his weapon into the dirt as a warning?
