Cop Drives Right at Suspect, Runs Him Over in Disturbing Dash Cam Video

[951-Riverside]

139. The one officer giving the command for other officers to "stand by" put them and the public at risk

We're not talking about a guy simply walking down the street with what appeared to be a rifle, we have a guy who committed arson, stole a rifle, fired it in public right in front officers and was walking around in a residential neighborhood still armed with it.

The last thing you want is some maniac with a rifle to have cover + distance. Had he been an experienced marksman, he could have easily taken out those officers from a distance and had the opportunity to have sufficient cover from small arms fire. The one officer who told the others to "stand by", put them all at risk.

The other officer made the right call by quickly closing in the distance between him and the threat and taking it out.

THIS was no John Crawford III or Tamir Rice incident where police officers snuck up and gunned them down with no warning when they posed no threat to anyone.
