Stop killing yourself or I'll shoot you! lmao
They would shoot at the fire, not the person, duh.
Yeah, suicide is illegal here... But getting killed by cops while you break the law isn't.
I'm not joking. Both of those things are true.
They didn't know what was going on, could have been a suicide bomber
The fuck was a gun gonna do about a suicide bomb?
I'm just saying there is no way for them to know what his intentions are, of course they drew weapons
The situation probably unfolded in a matter of seconds
why do we teach everyone to only pull your gun if you're going to kill someone unless you're a police -- then just pull it any time you're worried or confused!
I'm confused why my comments are negatively recieved but this isn't https://lemm.ee/comment/9644382
Lemmy is worse than reddit
I dunno -- I didn't downvote you! :)
Maybe actually grab him with your hands, instead of going for a gun as a first option. The police in US is brutal.
