So a cops is supposed to be a mind reader and know what the dude was going to do? So for the haters here, does the cop need to be shot, stabbed or assaulted FIRST before he earns the right to protect himself???
I’m just courious
No you’re not.
The cop is supposed to take on the responsibility of evaluating the situation for a threat NOT simply, literally blindly shooting at the first thing the guy does that the cop doesn’t like. This is the facet of the Job that made it noble. Cops were one of us NOT overlords or a hostile occupying force.
What did cops do 50 years ago? They sure as hell weren’t pulling guns and shooting blindly as they are doing more and more today.
Any frightened little Fem can do as this guy did....piss her panties and blaze away.
“What did cops do 50 years ago?”
Probably beat the guy to a bloody pulp, that better and more acceptable??
