Legit Police Shooting

[Mako19]

That was very intense.

Do ya'll think this guy was intentionally committing "police suicide" or was he trying to shoot the officers?

It's hard to believe that he wasn't able to get even one shot off but now that you pointed out how the male officer directed his head away it makes more sense.

Also, it looked to me like the female office grabbed the man's arm (or tried to) when he pulled his weapon instead of turning away from him. This prevented him from extending his arm to aim and fire at her. This action that she did instinctively probably saved her life.

I would imagine one's first move when they see a gun drawn on them would be to turn away and not try to grab at it. It looks to me like they were both well trained.

And the male officer made a few great shots when he opens fire. Actually, one of the first 2 or 3 shots looked like they turned off the perp's light switch.

Have watched this many times and have had trouble reading this guys true intent. He was no threat inside the restaraunt and I really think he had plenty of time to shoot. Kinda torn on that. I do believe the officers acted as they should have. I would have done the same without hesitation.
