Anyway you don't point a gun at someone unless you're okay with them being dead so the cop still probably deserves to be fired.


Also, this just seems kinda insane.

Should he have kept his gun on him for that long? Absolutely not. But if there's even a chance somebody could be reaching for a weapon, a cop absolutely should point their gun at them until they hold their hands up/whatever. Otherwise, if somebody actually is reaching for a gun, you're now saying them and the cop should have an old-western draw to see who can raise theirs quickest.

It sounds like he held the gun on him for too long and had a better way to deal with it so he could've lowered the gun sooner, but saying a cop shouldn't point a gun at somebody who is reaching for something unknown at all is just silly.
