Dude was not the sharpest tool in the shed...
Looks like a good shoot to me.
XXXXXX
Shooting was justified, but had they patted the suspect down on initial contact it may have been avoided.
My thoughts exactly.
Search him and cuff him in the restroom.
Police arrive at a scene probably
for a nuisance call and end up having to
shoot this guy. I know the cops train for this
sort of thing but I'll bet those officers
who went back home after their shift are now
"different" people.
Here,Here for the people in Blue and
those that trained them.
What a lunatic.

This is how it happens quite frequently. She reacted quickly. I am sure both officers are changed for ever. This video is a prime example of how quickly it happens.
It looks like a run of the mill call, some goofus stole a case of beer from WalMart.
They have him outside, the lighting is not good, and suddenly out of nowhere he is holding, apparently, a 1911 Colt.
It would make you nervous about going to work the next day.
It is such a difficult job being a police officer.

I agree. The perp should have been searched/patted and weapon would be found. Since he had a weapon - cuffed on the spot as he was contained.
He was then marched thru a pubic area uncuffed. Worst scenario: Could have been threat to people inside. Perhaps grabbed a hostage.
Either way, the PD should be praised for their reaction outside. Thank goodness it happened in a small "red" town in TX where police are supported and appreciated.
Compare to big cites controlled by democrats where their allies in main stream media would be demanding incarceration and firings within the PD for use of excessive force. Oh, and of course SOB stories portraying how nice the perp was and if he was still alive....
view, had they padded him down,
they would have found the gun, but
the courts would have let this man go.
Then he would have had another opportunity
to repeat his actions on maybe some cop
not as quick to the draw as the lady cop.
those glocks worked pretty good [:D]
[:D]. Too good
Agree though, had they patted him down in the restroom odds are good the shooting would not have happened.

Blood test showed he has 19 times legal limit of alcohol in his blood

I really like those strobe attached lights[:D]
Streamlight TLR-1s, I'd guess it was probably activated unintentionally.

I don't think so, they where smaller and had a laser

I didn't notice the laser dot until I watched it again.

and IF they would have taken 30 seconds to pat him down in the men's room , good chance he would be alive and they wouldn't be going what the F--- happened to our lives
I was waiting for the second guessers to come.

Of course, woulda, coulda, shoulda. I did notice that the Sgt walking out moved a place setting away from the edge so he couldn't easily grab it. Now its the officers fault that this moron pulled a gun on them wanting to be shot.

I asked my wife about this and her answer was because if the guy decides to get froggy in a tight space it can be pretty dangerous for the officers. By getting him outside they gave themselves some room to work.
I feel for the cops, their families and the families of the dead, thieving, stupid drunk.

I'd agree with that. If they'd have attempted to pat him down in the bathroom it could have led to a confrontation giving them little room to move, and retreat.
Talk about kicking a dead horse..

Come now, there was plenty of room in that restroom to pat the guy down, and they had him confined alone in the restroom. And they had plenty of room when they exited the restroom. The male officer actually walked in front of the suspect through the restaurant with his back to the suspect. Poor tactics. Proper police procedure may have resulted in a better outcome.
That has to be a typo, I think a decimal point got misplaced.
Three times the legal limit is really, really drunk, staggering drunk.
Five times the legal limit normally causes death.
At any rate, when the officers accosted this guy in the bathroom, you could tell he was goofy; drunk, or maybe, stoned on pot. He was walking pretty well, I am gonna say 1.9 times the legal limit.
and is it to much too ask that you do your darn job right !!!!!!!!!
Too bad all these experts don't work as trainers for the police academy and as cops in the rough areas. You could wipe out the crime and the bad pr overnight
Chris: 19 times the legal limit? No way, Jose.

Yeah that didn't look right to me either but I was just sharing the headline as found.
In my EMT Rescue Dude Dayze such a highly polluted individual would have been referred to the coroner as potentially flammable.

Yes, there was plenty of room to pat him down in the restroom, unless he went on the fight. Did ya miss that part?
As they were walking him out the male officer kept looking back and the female was behind him. Had both been behind him he could have bolted. The way they did it they had him boxed in.
May I ask what it is that you know of "proper police procedure"?
Where did you get your training and how close did you finish to the top of your class?
