I guess the police now have an obligation to simply allow themselves to be killed when someone pulls a gun on them. This is what it has come to.
Yep. Predictable DBM/race baiter response:
We need more gun control. Just because he pulled a gun on a cop doesn't mean he was intending to shoot. Police should try to calm the situation down first before shooting. Profiling - if a white person pulled a gun on a cop, the cop wouldn't have shot him. Did I leave anything out?
This is a case where body cameras wouldn't not have mattered. There were dozens of eyewitnesses who concurred with the incident as reported. Still, there will always be second guessing as to if there was a real threat or not.
