apparently the person yelling the orders is NOT the person filming/holding the gun
id certainly agree there was definitely an easier way to direct this person through detainment procedure, however its hard to say how i feel about shooting him. i wish it didnt happen, and even though i can say ive had to do some quick complex decision making in the moment, ive never had to do so while actively pointing a gun at someone. if i even slightly suspected that someone was an actual threat to my life and i had a gun, realistically id probably light them up at a moments notice too
my brain would turn off if i was getting yelled at like that. following orders being barked at you is stressful and making every specific move right cant be expected from everyone
however i imagine its just as stressful holding an ar-15 to a suspect while orders are being barked to them. even if theyre drunkenly innocent, i can easily imagine how adrenaline pumping and judgement clouding it must be to point a semi-automatic at someone while a person on your team is viciously yelling at them. my brain would probably turn off in that situation too. id go straight to impulsive/muscle memory and decision making. however thats also why im not a cop
i wish the guy with the gun had better judgement, but i blame whoever is commanding david to do stuff for his death. i dont understand why they didnt just cuff him while he was sprawled out on the ground. they already had guns on him they could have just as easily shot him down while approaching him if he tried anything. i could see "not checking the other halls" for being a reason for that, but again, there was two, maybe three officers there. did they even have a reason to suspect there being more people involved than just this daniel guy?
all in all, everyone could have handled this situation better. the guy yelling the orders should have been calmer and clearer, the guy holding the gun shouldnt have been so trigger happy but its understandable, and daniel should have asked the officers for permission to do literally anything that would go against their orders. if he wanted to pull his pants up, he should have asked the officers if it was okay. if he was drunk i completely get that, but in this case he should have admitted to that
