That would be the smart thing to do though. That's the problem.
Let's drive right in front of a person with a gun.
This could've been resolved easily. "Sir, please drop the gun"
If he continues to refuse to put the gun down, then you shoot, but not to kill.

Police officers are trained to USE THEIR HEADS and ASSESS THE SITUATION. Not just go in guns blazing.


Agree.

Yup, I'd 100% not bother shouting to put the gun down or anything, just shoot straight away yep totally the right way forward


Look at some of the videos I posted and see how effective telling them to drop the gun is (Hint: You're going to watch a few police officers die.)

Shooting a gun is really not very difficult, plus when the officer is leaving the car he's presenting a nice compact and stationary target to the shooter. Besides, one of the videos is literally a policewoman being shot by someone whilst she's in her car.
I'm not from that area nor have i ever been a cop in an area like that. The court evidence isn't shown in the article. Therefore i will not react to this.
