And where did you get this idea that one of the dangerous situations that cops are 'supposed' to put themselves in, is allowing a suspect to get the jump on them and pull out a gun/aim it at them?
Especially one who was seen aiming it at random passing persons earlier?
Is that something in law? Is that something that you can prove is usually taught to cops in the U.S.? Or is that just your opinion?
And I don't know where you're getting that 'baby' scenario from, because it's not even close to the same thing as a 12-year-old. A 12-year-old can still intentionally and unlawfully shoot you with the quickness if he wanted....again, especially one who was seen earlier pointing a (fake) gun at random persons.....
The dangerous situation they're supposed to be putting themselves in, is approaching such a person in the first place, and trying to stop/detain them. THAT'S their job. Their job isn't to unnecessarily put their lives at risk beyond that....otherwise, they wouldn't have guns to use as part of their duty.....
And the other cop shooting isn't proof of anything. No need for him to shoot when the suspect is already down by the other officer. Also, not every cop is gonna have the exact same reaction time in a 'justifiable shooting' situation, anyway. Also.....the cop that shot the kid, was in the other cop's way inside the car, since he was between that cop and the kid while exiting the car.....so it's not like the other cop had the option to safely shoot the kid right then and there. Also.....it looks like the other cop might have been the driver (not 100% sure on this), meaning he had to take a second or two to make sure the car was in park before exiting.....another delay that would've caused him to not shoot as quickly......
