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???

THere should be an actual threat. He can't just shoot first and then ask questions later. I would be up for an attempted murder charge, and justifyably so for making an error like that. He took the job. If he's that much of a ninny he's in the wrong line of work. Of course, we know he'll be absolved of all responsibly for this because he "feared for his safety", even though his fear was completely unjustifiable by anyone but a cop.
