He was armed....with a cellphone. And, he assumed the two-hand stance.
You'd think after all these kinds of shootings, the dumb perps would get the idea that they are not going to survive a confrontation like this with the cops.
I've got two boys who are cops, and they go for their guns, right away, in a tense situation like this.
This was a "suicide-by-cop" situation, anyway.
I've heard of these where the cop's check out the guy afterward and they have a suicide note on them. I believe that would be enough to turn me off policing forever.
