So they should wait until the suspect fires at them?
You realize that, at 30 to 40 feet, that will get a cop killed pretty freakin often?
Yes when a hose is pointing at them they should wait for the water to come out.

And IF it was a gun as the people who called 911 suggested and his first shots were into an apartment that killed other innocent people... what would your comments about the cops be in that case?
If he had a gun, as reported, then other people were in danger. The cops are there to PROTECT and serve.

[sarcasm]Don't you get it Winter? Just because someone, an intoxicated and/or impaired someone at that....someone whom the neighbors were concerned enough about to call the law, ... just because he points what really looks to be a gun at you, you should wait for a shot before you react. You should chance your well being as well as the well being of those who might be in the area. After all, you're a cop. You don't have the right or the need to protect yourself. You just don't get it, do you?[/sarcasm]
cop should get wet by hose before shooting the lawn waterer.
way to much conjecture, cops should not get out the car firing on the "someone might have a gun suspicion". This is not Russia
You are apparently reading too many of SM's posts. YOu are learning to ignore facts.
Conjecture? You post "cops should not get out the car firing" and you accuse us of conjecture?
The cops were out and setting up containment procedure when the guy pointed something at them. Something that at least 4 people thought was a gun.
fact, dude had no gun
hundreds more of those dumbasses need to be killed soon
It's quite obvious your a gun nut. Cops should not murder guy's holding nozzles.
rednecks often shoot first and confirm later
IF they knew he had a gun that would be different, murdering someone you thought had a gun is murder. 2nd degree
Your idea that they have to be fired at to be able to shoot at a suspect is bullshit.
So if you were a cop, you be another murdering bastard like these guys.
hundreds more cops need to die soon.
