Basically the police pulls over somebody, and the guy is acting crazy...but the police officer doesnt shoot immediately (like how everyone says they should wait) and the civilian ends up going to his truck, pulling out a rifle and killing the police officer and driving off, he was some crazed Vietnam veteran My step dad is a police officer and they show them that video in the academy to teach officers what could happen to them if they hesitate taking action in a situation like that The officer was some young guy in his early 20s ...so pretty inexperienced... some background info on the situation This shouldn't have been an analogous situation to that, though. Yes, the cops thought the guy inside was a major threat, but then they knocked on the door and waited for him to come open it. From a tactical standpoint, that's utterly idiotic. If you trust a guy enough to let him open the door for you, you should trust him enough to not shoot you as soon as he opens the door, and thus not need to shoot him. If he's dangerous enough to warrant shooting him as soon as he opens the door, don't let him open the door for you. --- This is my signature.
