Reinforcing bad habits?

Unless part of their training is to use show of force to scare an uncertain threat (inferior force) into submission...

I wondered that too.
I didn't see anyone nearby (body cam probably showed at least a 270 degree view with the move from one end of the car to the other) so where was the urgency in the response?


The video mentions multiple 911 calls stating he was waiving it around and point it at people.

If you pause the video when the cop starts firing, you can see the suspects weapon pointed right at the cop.

I heard that..
Guess I need a bigger screen. But as Paul said maybe they got too close too soon, which is why I mentioned not seeing anyone around, as if he moved to a remote area, or the callers had driven by..
