This guy never posed a threat or perceived threat to the police.

He was a rampage killer and first response should be to NEUTRALIZE that threat. Permanently.

Said he had a gun, said “kill me”. Had just attempted to kill over a dozen people and was successful in at least part of that number.

The video showed the suspect repeatedly pulling an object from his side and aiming at police.
Wouldn't that seem to be a perceived threat? Or did the officer recognize that it was not a weapon?
