That was likely from the other officer's point of view or perspective.

So I don't think that happened.

But if a shot goes off, so the gun call happens, the shot goes off, and then somebody's reacting in fear, then that's what you get, right?

But here's what I'll say.

Is it going to be a manslaughter charge?

The answer is probably no.

You know why?

Because all the officer has to say, who, by the way, was on the opposite side of where the cameras are, is when there was a gun call,

when there was a situation where the gun was removed, I didn't see it.

And when that gun call was made, I saw him reach towards the right side of his waistband, whether or not he saw it or not, that's all he has to say, and I thought he was going to pull the gun and shoot and kill us, and I used deadly force.

Because I was in the position where I did not want to take a chance, and I thought it was objective and reasonable for me

to defend all the officers around me from serious bodily harm or death.

And that's probably good enough in that particular case.

Now- Good enough for a courtroom, I agree.

Yes, and the court of public opinion, we have more experience in this recently.

Remember when we taught decisive point, decision point?

In that course,

it derived from this understanding that most people knew how to shoot guns.

Like, you could draw a pistol and shoot a paper target all day long.

That's the easy part.
