[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So there's a guy with a gun in the car and you want the cops to turn their backs on him to talk to the wife? Bullets travel. From a distance means nothing. They didn't know if this guy was on something, if he was a wildcard who would just start shooting around him.[/quote]

Where did I say they should turn their backs to him? I said they should have stopped yelling, They should have stayed behind protective cover and they should have been ready to respond to a clear and present danger (such as his pointing the gun). But, they should have attempted to deescalate.

Easy to say when it's not your life on the line, your kid's life, your wife's life. The criminal here is the one holding the illegal weapon here and refusing to drop it after many, many commands to do so. You wait for the guy to fire the weapon, it's too late. What if he runs and starts shooting at innocent bystanders? A school kid (he was waiting for a bus, right)? Then the cops are on the hook for that.

They were in a no-win situation and I feel incredibly sorry for them and their families. I am actually sickened that people are still protesting in Charlotte, where I live. They should be cleaning up and apologizing to everyone harmed for flipping their shit before having any sense of what actually happened. And the wife should be fined for all the lies she spread.
