That video is so shaky, it's impossible to tell if Toledo had a gun in his hand as he was in the process of raising them and then dropped it as he was raising them.
Clearly, from OTHER video presented, he had a gun at some point.
It's also impossible to tell if Toledo is REACHING for something and then decides to raise his hands...if that's the case...well...
The point being...this is why I would never want to be a cop.
You need to make this split second, life or death decision...
Do you give the suspect the benefit of the doubt and risk never seeing your family again? I mean I assume the report went out over the radio that this guy had a gun. Knowing this, what would you do in that moment?
Unfortunately, we are dealing with human beings, not perfect machines.
The courts will decide this officer's fate. Well, these days, not really. It will likely be the media machine and the dominant far-left that decides (and we all know what their verdict will be).
We live in interesting times.
