I will say this also this looks like a helicopter View of a training video, the videos we see in training where officers did not shoot and somebody reached into the car and pulled out a rifle and those officers are dead. They see those videos and all the police academy classes.

I had the exact same type of incident before with a guy who was trying to get me to shoot him.

The story is both funny in one regard and Incredibly frightening in other ways. And the story is way too long to describe here but basically the guy did everything you possibly could with his vehicle and his physical actions and his words to try to get me to shoot him.

I did not see a gun in his hand but he reached into his pickup truck as if he were retrieving a weapon after saying I’m not going back to prison.

He ran off into the woods where I later found 2 Glock magazines buried under some leaves and the Glock magazines had strong magnets attached to them so that he could secure them underneath the dashboard of his truck. He also was wearing body armor a butcher’s apron a Halloween mask and had a holster for a pistol on his hip as well as extra ammunition in his pockets.

I had a work crew in this little wooded field cutting bushes and raking brush off and on for a week and we could never find the gun that he must have had.

But there’s always a chance he never really had a gun and it would have been a lawful improper shooting head I decided to shoot him back when he was reaching in his truck.

And of course he was white so that changes the media narrative.

One other part of this incident was he had his dog with him and later at the precinct I had stripped of my uniform shirt and vest and gun belt off to try and cool down on the hot summer night and his girlfriend showed up at the precinct to retrieve his animal I went out to talk to her in the lobby and give her the dog and she decided she was going to pretend she was reaching in her purse and getting a gun to shoot me and I had no weapon on me I had to launch across the room and grab her before she could put her hand out of her purse and of course she was just pretending.

I was too legitimate shootings that I did not do in one night.

I have had several other incidents where it would have been totally lawful to pull the trigger and I did not, but none were as strange as these two the other two were people either pulling knives on me or trying to stab somebody else and the circumstances just were such that the backdrop was bad or they dropped a knife before I could shoot.

I apologize in advance for any weird words or misspellings because I was using voice to text for this post.
