Did the guy point a gun at a police officer or was it the usual, they shot before that even happened? Being a cop means signing up for the risk of being shot because you shouldn’t attack someone before being actually threatened. A person carrying a gun isn’t a lethal threat at least not until asked to drop it first (which may well have happened of course). But this wasn’t a call to a scene where shots had been fired which would also make a difference. The “I’ll shoot first when I see any weapon so I get to go home to my family“ is understandable - but wrong. You shoot when presented with a lethal threat. Obviously, people who answer a “police open up” knock (or literally any knock at any hour) carrying a gun are also not exactly geniuses. If you don’t like the odds or don’t like the pay vs risk then ffs get another job. Not that I expect this to change so long as police training in the US remains ridiculously short. Why you’d let an armed police officer loose after less than a years training is absolutely nuts.
