Do we have reasonable proof that the perp wouldn’t drop the weapon when commanded?
There was no doubt... NONE that this guy just murdered someone. Do you EXPECT the cops to attempt to physically disarm someone with a deadly weapon clenched in hand who has ALREADY killed someone only minutes ago?
That’s insane. You get one chance, maybe two depending on how much the cops feel like yelling to drop your weapon. Then you get shot. Maybe you survive that, likely you don’t.
I can’t see what the perp might have been holding in that video. I’m sure the GJ had all the info and witness reports.
Bad cops should be dealt with. Were these bad cops? Or just people with a bad job dealing as the situation required with someone who just murdered someone else?
Do we really have to get worked up over this?
he was identified by the store owner, he said so just before they went for him
