That guy had already shot a kid in the windpipe and a lady in the face. He was running around screaming about "putting your eye out with that thing". He was a crazy man trying to shoot people's eyes out.
So why not tell him to drop it from a distance, and only pulling triggers on him if he starts to raise it up?
Because the cop didn't want his eye shot out.
With the gun pointing to the floor?? I don't even think the guy realized cops had been called till after he was leaking.
