See my reply in another sub-thread of this sub-thread, I skimmed it, missed that, and misremembered his pointing it at civilians previously with the in my judgment credible claim that he was reaching for it from its tucked in his waistband position as the police arrived. But that doesn't matter WRT to the topic of the article, for as I note, absent other evidence or a lack of credibility from the police officers, the decision to prosecute or convict is supposed to come down in favor of them, "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard.
