However, that video certainly shows that the young man was aware of his size and not unused to intimidating people. A much smaller store owner in this case. Which is wrong. Stealing is wrong. Assault is wrong.

We don't know if he went for the cop's gun. If he did...hey...bad news, that WILL get you killed.

I don't know what happened. None of us do.
