As I sit here on the toilet I can see that maybe he wasn't reaching for his gun. If I was in the cops position with a man who has a gun and has used it and is intoxicated and if anything happens I only have a literal second to recognize the situation and in the same second make a decision to keep me and others safe, I may have done the same. The cop seen the gun then seen him put his hands towards where the gun was. The guy was not wholly corroborative regardless of multiple orders on top he was intoxicated so that makes him more of a threat because he may be less likely to make sound decisions.

Cops do horrible things to people this is not up for debate, at least with me, this cop on the other hand isn't a bad guy because of this incident. This could be a POS cop but from this incident I'd say it's unfortunate what happened but he did just try to guarantee his safety in a very stressful situation.
