Eight or so feet away and above you to launch from - ok no danger  |
Who said anything about turning around. I am sure the officers are fully capable of walking backwards. They could have lured him out, then apprehended him from behind, or surrounded him and change the dynamics of the situation. They could have also waited him out, gassed him, etc. They could have formed a barricade and at the slightest notion of attack then deploy the tazer. Really.. How many cops does it take to take down one person.. 2 or 3 sure.. but a nice gang of them... I think the odds are in the cops favor.
Their situation was like shooting animals in a small cage.
