That is an excellent question. I guess it would depend on why the cops had their guns drawn. Where they chasing an armed man who just shot a bank teller? Or where they chasing a man who appeared to be unarmed, but who had just punched a neighbor?
In the first case, the armed man must be taken down, especially if there are innocents in that house.
But in the second case, no.
I have no idea what the back story is here. But again, there were multiple cops drawing on this suspect. I would think he was a potentially serious threat for them to do that.
We’ll have to wait and see what caused them to attempt to hold this suspect at gun point. Based on the video, I’d assume they considered him to be a threat.
