I still think the LEO was a bit trigger happy...

Years ago when going through a shoot, no shoot video reaction drill, my buddy said he would always error on the side of shoot and face the music, rather than lying dead in some morgue the morning after. These are the cold hard facts of life and death decisions officers face every day. Here an armed robbery suspect had a handgun at the ready on his thigh. It does not matter an iota whether he was in fact the armed robber of the convenience store. He fit the description and was every bit as dangerous.
I don’t disagree with you...
