If I were on the jury, that actually wouldn’t matter to me. No one should be shot for reaching for his cell phone, scratching his leg, or pulling up his pants.
If you don’t see an actual gun, you shouldn’t shoot. If a suspect seems to be reaching for his waistband, back off and assess the situation. Would this be putting the cop in more danger? Possibly. But that is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.
Just like a fireman rushing into a burning building is put in more danger. It is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.
It worked in the murder of Lavoy Finnicum. It will work here.
Looks like he does drop his hands but that's BS anyhow.
Looks like all of the cops are across the street, at least 30 yds, no doubt behind cover.
Too many cops have the "Us vs Them" mentality.

Yes another anti cop Freeper - guilty until proven innocent.
