If someone is going to have the power to end someones life I think they need a much more then the little time they spend at the academy. They only had to worry about one point not many like if in a firefight. They had ALL their concentration on him and they still couldn't make that distinction..... so stop embarrassing your self by comparing apples and oranges.

I'm sorry friend, but you're a dumbass. Iris is right. This guy is sitting there, claiming he has a gun. Already, if you're in that situation, you don't tell the cops SHIT, you don't move a fucking muscle or even breathe without their say so. Know why? They have a lot more guns than you. This guy is in no position to make demands of the police, it's not like he has a hostage or something. The only lives he has in control are his own and perhaps one or two others if he had actually had a gun at the time. Did they need to shoot him? Of course not. Did they need to let the dog go? Yes, yes they did. This all boils down to one man being a complete fool and thinking he can sit there and take on the police because he's a tough guy.

He's literally sitting there DARING the police to advance or send the dog. "I dare you." < Exact quote. This guy deserved everything he got. Clearly suicide by police. I only feel bad for the dog. That stupid bastard decided to roll the dice and he lost, real bad.

It's really sad when even I have to say this, coming from someone who is against most police activity and big government. If I was one of those cops, and that guy made such a quick move after claiming he had a gun with 13 rounds in it, I'd have put more rounds into him than anyone else. Oh yeah I forgot, killing a police dog counts as a police homicide, so they were essentially protecting one of their own.

Know the best way to diffuse that kind of situation if you're that guy? Say "I'm putting the gun down." move VERY, VERY slowly, and do what you're told.
