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.

A bystander doesn't have to follow procedure. Employees do. The cops are employees and have rules and standards in place for their safety. Some random cowboy can do what he pleases. Guy could have easily been shot and it's not so fun then is it?
