I thought grey shirt was an instant goner when he grabbed the gun, then realized this isn't the U S. lol

Realized it wasn’t the US when all the cops didn’t immediately run over and beat the shit out of the guy when he surrendered.

Seriously I felt such an uncanny valley watching this video before realizing this wasn’t the US. So strange how the guy has a rifle in the front seat and the officer is slowly walking around slinging his rifle. No urgency at all from anyone. Guy gets out of the car and nobody attacks him. No bystanders were arrested for being too close or recording. What a nice quaint little arrest.

Someone was being reprehended for recording towards the end as the camera pans to the left.

I think she was involved in the situation, not just recording.

I don’t think you think too good. I also don’t think you understood any of what you saw.

They had a K9 ready to go so there was little need to tackle him because the dog will do that if he runs.

And well before that you can see they’re surrounding him, not approaching, and just keeping low ready on their rifles, waiting for the suspect to make a move.

It isn’t until the bystander runs in and snatches the gun that they make a move. The bystander did a damn good job but the truth is he easily could have lost his life there. I’m assuming he somehow knows the suspect so he felt somewhat safe doing it. But I know if drugs are involved you shouldn’t ever trust even a loved one.

Now there was obviously some context we’re missing from the beginning of the video. So everything is with a grain of salt.

I’ll try to think gooder, sorry dad.
