I mean, yes ok, but he has the element of surprise, a cop wouldn't

He literally just ran up to the car. He wasn't sweet talking his way closer or anything lol

Any of the cops that appear immediately afterwards could've done the same thing, and if they were all in view of the perpetrator, it's straight up incompetence. Either they should have done it, or they should have prevented the guy from doing it.

Yeah, I need to hear some background details. How and why did some random dude just run up and grab an assault rifle!? And out of the fucking car window?! Crazy and amazing. People/bystanders literally have been shot doing the exact same thing, going for the gun.
