I don't disagree with that instinctual reaction one bit. God forbid, if my kids were in this situation, i would want to rush in. that is the natural reaction of a GOOD parent. I am speaking to the video itself. The Police have an obligation to keep the public safe. that means they are divided into hunting down the suspect and protecting bystanders. what is supposed to happen in this situatuion is exactly what happend in... the... VIDEO...

Police set up a perimeter to keep the public safe, this is their first priority. it seems a though someone tried to charge in like you would have done and ended up getting subdued, as the police in any situation would be required to do to keep people safe. Then the officer with tazer in hand was standing cover over his fellow officers.

OBJECTIVLY speaking, the officers did what they were trained to do.

i have admitted that i have very little context of the whole situation, and I have been trying to get more info on the story, but the answers i am looking for such as "how did the shooting end" seem to be behind pay walls and everyone else is just say how inept the police were.
