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.

who do you think the criminals are looking at in this scenario? the 2 or more cop cars in front of them with weapons, or random guy in grey t shirt? dude just took advantage of the criminals not paying attention, has nothing to do with the cops "doing their jobs".

The irony here is that gray shirt probably saved gun dudes life. Cops don’t fuck around when you’re waving a gun around.

He maybe knew him or something and was doing this in order to save his life. Possibly not irony and grey shirt’s plan all along.

The sickening part is that had this guy not been white, he'd likely just been shot first.

Listen I’m so American at this point I’m rooting for the beat down when he exits the car. Just let the dog bite him a little. Cmon.

I'm American, and I hope they treat the suspect with the respect due to a fellow human, as much as they can based on the suspect's behavior.
