I totally agree. Forward thinking by the other security guard(s) to call the on-duty cops who were actively responding to the situation.

The same way cops currently enforce the law when they're overpowered.
Do what they can to protect the innocent and remove them from the situation while waiting for back up.

So we're talking about a mass shooter? I really don't know. Should every cop be armed at every single moment in preparation of defending the public from mass shooters? I don't think so.
The key words earlier were we should be looking at and exploring alternatives. Obviously law enforcement agencies would have to implement new or improved strategies if we're talking about disarming any meaningful number of officers on duty.

Why does everyone want the cop to draw on him? If he drew the pistol it would have looked bad as a push of force and the cop killed the man in cold blood if he fired or some other thing. Cop tried to cuff him and didn't work out.

Somewhat off topic but..
This video reminded me with an ex-cop I used to work with. Dude had pulled up to a party and tried to arrest some guy that was firing weapons at an abandoned house. Things got heated and idiot pulled out a knife on him and swung. The cop tackled him to the ground and pulled out his weapon while doing so. He (the cop) then proceeds to FIRE HIS WEAPON while on top of him and guess what? HE MISSES him entirely.
He told this story in front of 5 other people and they were all like "dude thats crazy" . I on the other hand quested how the **** did he miss? I felt like deep down he was too scared to shoot the guy. The way he was describing it made it seemed like the cop in this video.
I asked everybody how they felt and they were all defending him. They told me in the heat of situation anything can happen. Which I would agree with but not when the guy is literally in front of you. man

Just when you think there's a thread where everyone would have the same exact reaction, you wind up with dudes trying to convince you 1+2 = 12.
I'm convinced dudes like Antigen and Ice gettin' commission for trolling

I'm usually the first to be critical of police brutality & excessive force but taking away their guns is just stupid.
tired left-wing ideals, same folks who believe assault rifles are automatic weapons. and that they should be banned because they're excessive, are the same people who disregard the fact that handguns account for the most gun-related homicides.
and they're the same people who think a gun-ban, a disarming of the police & public will make our nation's streets safer.
great, let's just create open season on households across america. let criminals terrorize their neighborhoods with no fear of gun-toting law enforcement or even civilians.
because if you're going to disarm the police, then you'd have to disarm the public.
but you know who ISN'T going to be disarmed? thaaaaaat's right, the career criminals. their burners are dirty as it is already. they're not going to go "oh gun ban? I have to turn in my illegal firearms? well okay!!!"
It wouldn't work, period.

The way Hubbard descibed it and the way it went down in that video dont match up.
And I think that is a part of the problem that gets overlooked in these kinds of shootings.
Most times the officers write up their reports to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing to make their actions seem more justified.
In this case I think Hubbard WAS justified because he clearly feared for his life, and ultimately Bruno was already in the wrong for resisting in the first place but,
Hubbard said:
But when you watch the video, Hubbard was already trying to pull his weapon before Bruno even threw a single blow.
You can clearly see at the 1:07 mark, when Bruno has both of his hands on Hubbard's face, that Hubbard has already started to reach for his weapon.
He had actually tugged on his gun 2-3 times BEFORE Bruno ever hit him. ( And if any of you has ever worn a gun belt before you would know that from the position he was laying, and with someone on top of you, it could be difficult to get your gun out of the holster)
This is what makes me believe that he actually feared for his life. He was visibly afraid.
You can also see from the video that Bruno hit Hubbard a MAXIMUM of 3 times before he got shot.
He got hit once, then twice before the camera pans, and one second later you hear gunshots.
NOT AT ALL how Hubbard described it. Hubbard had his gun out by the second time he was punched.
Its easy to look at the damage Bruno did to Hubbard and automatically rule it justified, but I think a HUGE problem with these
police shootings is how the officers lie and embellish their side of the story to avoid liability.

49s - 51s.
The cop shifts around, and knees Bruno's head INTO the concrete. This is before Bruno got the upper hand.
But I suppose that little detail isn't worth much, right?
...
No it is not. So that gave Bruno the right to sweep the cop and try to beat him senseless?
Prior to having his head bashed into the cement by the cop, Bruno was actually pretty calm. Watch the video, it's all there. Hell, the folks who captured everything on camera even note the cops excessive manner.
Bruno only went into takedown mode after he had his head bashed into the ground.
But that is all beside the point, as far as I am concerned. My argument all along was that the cop--Hubbard-- should have exercised better judgement and deferred to the COPS WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE SITUATION, AND WERE ON THEIR WAY.
I think he should've attended to the victim--the cab driver--instead of trying to apprehend a drunkard whose identity was already known, and whose assault was likely already captured on surveillance. The WHOLE situation could have been avoided--that's my point.
...
This is quite possibly the dumbest post I've ever read on NT.
Remember that time you said every cab in the US has a camera?

When your getting punched that hard, its hard to count the amount of times you are getting hit and if anything the cop might have been reaching for the pistol to keep the man inline and stop him from fighting him. The gun is used alot as a sign stop what your doing when a cop is involved and when your struggling and trying to fight him it might be necessary like it was

That gay dude and the girl annoyed the **** out of me. Just shut the **** up for god sakes.
Shooting was justified. If a cop wants to arrest you, unless you're making some sort of political statement, just turn around and let him arrest you. Dispute it after the fact but don't resist, take him to the ground and start punching him.
If I was the cop, I'm being assaulted and the guy is liable to take my gun and kill me. I'm well within my rights to shoot him first.

Put yourself in the cops shoes.
I would've done the same thing.
The guy is an idiot for trying to beat down a cop. Come on man.

Props to the officer for getting his *** beat and doing what he had to do.
