Wow ! Walmart shoppers and incompetent police. How more didn't get killed is amazing. Cops escalated the situation out of control being overly aggressive without even the first thought put into it. Then , not one of them puts any of the idiots in cuffs before moving on to the next guy. Completely justified shooting and honestly they could have shot a couple more with justification. The saying play stupid games win stupid prizes applies to both the family and the police. I will give the police credit for not being eager to shoot the idiots. Numbers were not in the police's favor so why go directly to grabbing people ? The first officer was handling it without it turning into a melee and a moment to consult with him and assess the situation probably would have ended with nobody dead and a reasonably quiet arrest. We'll never know and the idiot father who went for the gun is dead.
Pretty good QB skills.
If you watch it with sound you can hear the cop say they need to separate for questioning. This is met by immediate response that is not happening. The cops didn't "just start grabbing people" they derelicts were agitated, circling and not complying and hadn't been before the video starts. Then the fight breaks out. The cops did not start it.
regarding cuffing, the officers were outnumbered and being doubleteamed most of the time. And the derelicts were fighting and resisting arrest. It maybe wasn't as easy as you think to "just cuff them."
