They had plenty of time to go up to him and cuff him, many times actually, from what I've heard there were at least 3-5 officers there (possibly more) and if you really want to say "they make split second decisions" or stuff like that, shouldn't they be somewhere else instead of responding to possible deadly threats? |

That's why they are telling him not to make sudden movements with his hands. |

who cares if he had a weapon? it's in the past, at that point you couldn't tell if there was a concealed weapon (because it's concealed) |

And the man had no gun, but because he could've had a gun it was fine, right? --- End quote --- when a person's job means that the slightest mistake in the fraction of a second means they'll never see their family or friends ever again because they had second thoughts and it resulted in them slumped against a wall with a hole in their head, they are going to take everything that looks like a real threat as such. --- Quote from: Snaked_Snake on December 09, 2017, 01:02:58 PM ---They had plenty of time to go up to him and cuff him, many times actually, from what I've heard there were at least 3-5 officers there (possibly more) and if you really want to say "they make split second decisions" or stuff like that, shouldn't they be somewhere else instead of responding to possible deadly threats? --- End quote --- they needed to clear the room he was in, so they had him come to them (in a strange fashion, sure, but nothing outrageously complex) also, it appeared to be a deadly threat since someone called the police reporting that someone was pointing a rifle out of the window. |

They had many chances to cuff him and search him, throughout the whole video. If they don't want to take the risk to see if he has a gun, then actually check he has a gun after cuffing him then, that way he can't pull his gun out and shoot you. |
