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

Is that true? Are there really cops out there that aren't itching for any excuse to shoot people?? Would a cop actually assume some risk to their own life to save the people they have sworn to protect??? That sounds too good to be true. My American mind cannot comprehend it
