Imagine being a cop and having to deal with stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4L97igDjY They literally save this man's life and he kills the guy who saved his life. Cops don't work in a safe space. Years of working in a violent and hateful environment must take a serious toll on them.

Also watching that video, the cops were grabbing at his waist where there was a gun, If the guy was just saved by firefighters he may be in an altered state so antagonizing him about carrying seems pretty reckless.

The excuses and justifications for criminals are infinite yet a remotely nuanced take on a cop’s difficulties are met with vile hatred and anger

I'm not excusing the criminal. He made a choice, but the power of video. Other cops should learn from it. Could that situation have ended safely with some other approach.

That second voice, "lift up your shirt". it stopped being a conversation with 1 officer and became two people giving orders to 1 guy.
