    Okay and still, what leverage does he have with his hands like that?

    This officer also created the situation by not waiting just a couple seconds for his buddy. Instead we have two guys acting individually with just pistols.

    There’s certainly no other outcome expected from a couple guys panicking with guns

      Either you’ve never been swung on in your life, or you were incapable of absorbing any learnings from it.

          I’m just saying I’ve had the shit beat out of me a few times, and based on my experience ain’t no way I’m gonna analyze somebody’s arm angle, stance, gait, wind speed, and other atmospheric conditions like I’m some fucking shonen anime fighting savant in 4 seconds.

          Hell I don’t think I could’ve gotten off a shot in 4 seconds, I’d be laid out by this kid and he’d be wailing on me.

          Maybe you’ve had amazing training on this front and could make such a calculus, but most people don’t, and cops aren’t much better trained than regular people.
