During a routine traffic stop, a motorist pops out of his car and draws a handgun on the officer. The link below shows first the dashcam of the event and then the officer's bodycam. I thought it was good fodder for this forum because it illustrates a few ideas we discuss (video shows dashcam first, then bodycam)
1. First, it all develops very rapidly. Most of the important decisions are made before the guns ever come out.
2. Despite starting the scene with his head in his iPhone, the officer quickly picks up on body language and attitude and responds decisively.
3. The officer makes good use of cover and concealment. The motorist does not.
4. Despite being shot in the upper torso almost immediately, the motorist remains a lethal and mobile threat for some time.
