In my professional opinion, that cop was terrified. Tunnel vision, screaming because he couldn’t hear as well due to the adrenaline, unclear commands. He was scared sh-tless. In NYC, we handle calls like that with two cops who have a 9mm each. It’s quick and efficient. You don’t make a suspect cross his legs behind him and then crawl to you! You make sure your partner has you covered, you holster your weapon, and you cuff them. If there’s any movement while that’s happening, they get a knee dropped in the groin and that usually does it.
It was not the shooter doing the screaming. It was his sergeant next to him.
If the cop had tunnel vision and was scared shitless of an unarmed babbling drunk then he should never have been given a badge. And it’s obvious to anyone, who doesn’t have tunnel vision and isn’t scared shitless, the man did not have a gun in his gym shorts.
Look at the picture of the punk cop. He wanted to shoot someone as soon as he put on his badge. Had he not become a cop he would have killed someone else. He’s a thug and every cop with him should have told him to put down his weapon. They knew he was a loose cannon. I don’t understand how anyone can watch that video and defend the piece of shit.
And I was a cop and had to go into a building once with guns drawn. Some people were in a closed business. As soon as we went in we realized they were just some college kids working late pressing t-shirts. This cop would have shot them. We asked “How’s it going?” and holstered our weapons.
