My father was a policeman until he retired. he always said never take out your gun unless you intend to shoot it....meaning be very careful about when you do.I have my father's old nightstick that he carried while walking a beat. can't help but wonder if the cops still carried nightsticks if one of them could have used it on the guy while he was walking away. it's very hard wood and the old cops would hit behind the knees with it...very effective. I just don't understand with all those police there why it escalated like that. and I can't condone firing 7 shots into a car with children in it. he may not be the poster child for his race, but he's still a human being.
