Exactly and there is safety protocol to adhere to while they do their jobs. I don't think there is police reg that would find these cops at fault for shooting a person who appears to be trying to hide something with one hand and repeatedly ignoring their direction to show his hand, talking all this death talk, and is reaching into his waist band even after he got shot.

that all seems like exposes yourself to undue risk for no reason.


This dude seems to be trying to provoke the cops to shoot him and we can only be so surprised that they did.
