“Watch the video. All he had to do was drop the pride and surrender to the armed cops. Only a psycho wouldn’t do that.”
While that may well be true, I was replying to your earlier comment that implied the perp was armed and walking away from police vs the police having their guns drawn. There’s a difference between dropping a weapon (that he apparently didn’t have) and dropping one’s pride.
He was walking away from a cop who had his gun drawn. Not a peace-loving move. More like “f*** you, f*** your gun, f*** your fear that made your draw your gun, I’ll do what *I* want”.
