We were not there.. Bottom line is we do not know what the officers felt. The suspects right arm was not controlled from what I observed. As it was stated here before, this is not the movies, the weapon does not have to be in the suspects hand and pointed at the officers before it is declared a "clean shoot."
Trust me, officers don't come to work and think..."boy I wanna kill someone today" in fact quite the opposite is the truth.
Split second reaction times come to play here. If I was that officer and I felt that suspect was going for his gun, and i feared for my life, I would of shot him before he got to it. Rather be tried by 12 then be buried by 6.
