Guy already walked away once and came back with a rag wrapped gun from under the hood of his car to threaten with.
Zero chance I am letting that guy be able to shoot while my wife sits defenseless in my car... or get in position to unload a magazine into me/my car before driving away.
There is zero reason to ever trust that someone who walks away to come back with a gun wrapped in rags hidden under the hood of their car is going to walk away peacefully this time. I all but guarantee you that is not a legally owned firearm.
I think he’s a threat, but I also think the cop has a responsibility to demand that the guy drop his gun before shooting him in the back as he walks away.
But like I said, I’ll withhold final judgement since I have no clue what they said to each other.
