This story has dragged on and on. It was beginning to look like the media and public were going to get another chance to bash the police but alas the verdict went in the favour of the police thankfully.
In the split second the police have in these situations, are you telling me that if it were you you wouldn’t shoot him? I know I probably would have done, because the second he can get his hands on that firearm (supposedly in his pocket) you’re dead.
I would have shot him. It’s easy to look back at any situation and pick through it meticulously, especially when you have weeks and months available to do it. Unfortunately when you’re faced with a known criminal that is known to have firearms you don’t have weeks/months to assess anything, just seconds.
