We go round and round. The risk doesnt go up because they thought it was real. The risk was still nothing. The perceived risk was high.

At any rate it appears the female cop did the right thing (tazer) and the male cop (the one who filled the guy with lead) didnt.

You make my argument for me. You try and dumb it down by using "perceived" but for all intents and purposes they see a 9MM handgun being brought out against them and react accordingly. Would you hope your tazer deploys correctly, the perp isn't tanked on something that might lessen it's effectiveness, and maybe you won't die?, fuck that, this maniac is getting a chest-full of lead and I'm going home at the end of my shift. Any other reaction than what happened is illogical and "the risk was still nothing" is still totally meaningless. If he was pulling out his wallet and they shot him then it's a totally different situation/story.

You are such a poor troll or simply a blithering idiot. More than likely both.

You just said, in this very thread, and then reiterated, that the cops did the right thing by shooting and you, personally, "didn't have a problem with it". That's on page 1 and 2 of this thread.
Your other posts in this thread have been equivocating troll fodder and hair splitting to try and demean police and police work.

If you ever wonder why you have such a poor reputation on this forum and find yourself on the losing end of so many debates, it's not because there's a dedicated cabal of cop lovers out to thwart you. It's simply that your logic, or complete lack thereof, is so hopelessly flawed and marred with your own often irrelevant biases that you end up making a fool of yourself without much effort.
 
Wow. When I watched it I felt they were fully justified. To hear that it wasn't even a real gun, just makes it crazy, but still justified. He clearly drew on the female officer. 😱

I don't think he was arguing that it wasn't a good shoot, it absolutely was. He was arguing that the cops lives weren't actually at risk even though they didn't know that at the time.

Jstorm doesn't have "arguments".

He has violent bursts of explosive keyboard diarrhea laced with his patented cognitive dissonance.
 
I watched the video and it looked like suicide by cop to me. Guy was probably thinking "well im fucked again" as soon as the cop walked up on him in the bathroom. The walk outside gave him time to think and because he has negative thought patterns he decided he wanted to die.
 
I wouldn't call that a shootout, but it was a harrowing incident and I feel bad for the officers involved. They did the right thing, but it can't be a good feeling to kill someone, particularly since it turns out he was unarmed.
