Believe it or not, a majority of police aren’t well versed in firearms to begin with. As soon as it was shown, I could see the CO2 delivery tubing and knew it was either a paintball or air soft type gun. Average cop won’t know and will shoot and be justified. Side-effect of mediocre training in all departments around the country.rule number 1 of owning a gun is never point it at anybody. .cops arent going to wait and see if it is shooting paintballs or bullets either.they have a split second to act and if they dont act they could die. this guy is dead because of his own actions . in a perfect world the cops wouldnt have shot him but we dont live in a perfect world
