He didn't, the police department fired him. Standard protocol is for a suspect to lay face down with his arms spread. The officers then approach them, folding one hand behind their back, then the other, applying restraints such as hand cuffs, all the while covered by the second officer.

If you're face down, with star spread arms, its almost impossible to get to a gun, let alone bring it to bear, aim and fire before an officer can fire off a shot.

Nothing in that clip should be protocol, except maybe crossing your legs, behind you.

If he'd been an active serviceman, rather than a police officer, he'd likely have been convicted based on the video.

On the radio (770 KTTH, I'll admit they're a little right of centre) they said the officer was trying to move him away from the room, he also said the training scenarios involve people suddenly reaching for firearms, he said until you know what you're dealing with (1,2,3 or more suspects), you think worse case scenario. They asked him if he would do anything different, he said the only thing he would have done different is he would have created a barrier, they're trained to first take cover... he doesn't think the copper did this.
He did say you give direct and explicit orders and let the suspect know in no uncertain terms failure to follow these instructions could lead to them being shot.He then said if the suspect makes a sudden movement, the copper has a split second to make a choice to shoot.
What he did say.... in all the training... they're never told how much or how little to shoot... you're told fire until he is no longer a threat.

The more you post on here,the more you come across as a top bloke.
Nice one for giving him a chance....you never know you might just make his life..I doff my hat sir.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Today he quit.
He was late twice and didn't turn up once. Smoked weed at work. I told him yesterday... no more f*** ups... his mum phoned me last night to say he doesn't want to work with me anymore. She defended him... "all kids have trouble getting out of bed" and "You can't tell him to not smoke weed on his break". I explained that I could have had viewings at the property, and it stunk of doobie... anyway...I tried, I fear he has a bleak future... the three weeks I had him working for me, opened my eyes to just how broken he is.

Oneself is often the last we point the finger to. Not everyone can be saved, nor should they be, his life will be hard and he'll find little happiness or fulfillment.

Unfortunately his attitude is being weaponized and given a reprieve by the left, as the "system or racism" failed him.

Frankly, people like this need to be conscripted, there is no other way to save them from themselves.

Cheers.... the crying shame is.... there were a few (very) brief moments, when I thought he might make it.

Hopefully... after a period of being skint... if he gets another chance he'll grab it, and learn the lessons from his time with me.
