Just thinking, if that Cruz kid had been rushed by an aggressive LEO, emptying a Glock as he ran toward him, the kid would not have been able to return fire. Especially if the attack was started as he was swapping mags. And, if a few of those rounds struck home. None of this drop your gun stuff, just a vicious, relentless assault.
May not be P.C., bet it would have worked. Not sure about rules of engagement, but once this little perp opened fire, IMO, he became a target of opportunity.
I'd like to hear LEO opinions on this tactic.

If he's already shot people, and it's still in the heat of the situation, there's no command to drop the gun that's called for. If he has it in hand, he's a target to be shot as soon as you can get sights on him.
