Was never a undercover but plain old uniform service. I know that it's pretty poor tactics to be hands on with a suspect with your weapon drawn, if I was outnumbered in a scuffle I would try to break contact and get my back against something then get the weapon out. Not have one hand on suspect and one hand on my weapon so suspects friends could take me from behind and get control of my weapon
once i had read that there were multiple assailants involved, I couldn't figure out what his options would be if one was coming from behind - release suspect 1 and face suspect 2+, knock suspect 1 unconscoius with butt of gun and turn to face 2+? Not much of a choice.
Facts may or may not come out later but no one has discussed or suggested presence of a weapon other than the campus cop's.
Jenkins fired his gun into the air. Is that standard operating procedure for officers?
Not to speak ill of the dead, but recent events here in Richmond. VA tend to give the impression that BATF guys tend to act like cowboys.
