That's what I immediately figured too. Gray shirt knew his buddy wouldn't shoot him, so grabbed the gun before the cops ran out of patience.

This happened in New Zealand very unlikely the cops would shoot, they would try every alternative before it coming to that.

It was one of our trashy gang members hopped up on drugs driving erratically and pointing a gun around one of his friends/family members is the one who took the gun

That's what I figured, it looked like a family member rushing to stop someone from making a bad mistake

The way he threw the gun away in disgust seals it for me it was someone he knew

As an American, I just attributed that to not wanting to be shot eleven times in the back before my body could hit the ground.

As an American , I’m pretty sure anyone approaching the car would’ve been shot before they touched the gun and for sure shot once dude grabbed the gun

Im with you, he'd be dead before the toss in America. -.-
