No I think Augustus pretty much summed it up quite clear in the post above mine. Don't run from the cops with an illegal handgun and then reach for
that gun.
Plus, the officer responded with the weapon he had in his hand in the mere second when he heard his partner shooting. He only heard the sounds of
gunshots and responded during a moment where his life was in danger. I don't know if you ever been in a situation where your life is in danger and a
singe second could mean death, its not as easy to take time to think it out. You just have to act. But I don't expect a cop to just sit back and wait
to die because "oh they know the risk" out of fear of looking bad in the media. Thats not only unrealistic, it is disrespectful to the officers and
their families.
