I don't mean to disparage the great job that our nation's police officer's do, but in this case, he basically gave himself up. You can be sure that if he was still standing there with his gun and refused to give it up they would have shot.
Given some recent incidents, sitting on the ground with hands in the air wouldn't necessarily prevent the man from being shot and killed. And if he'd been standing with gun in hand, the correct police procedure would have been to shoot, don't you think?
