Police officers attempt to interview a suspect in a theft of beer. What do you imagine he was thinking? These are body cam recordings from 2 officers during the same incident.

That's what you call an asshole, pure and simple. Excuse my language, but there's no other word for it.
Thank goodness there were 2 officers and they were focused and executed perfect teamwork. Otherwise, I hate to think what could have happened.
Poor chap. Dead in seconds. All for pointing a BB gun at the officers. Boggles the mind what he was thinking, given that he couldnt even particularly hurt them with that toy.
I'm usually the kind of person who believes if everyone had chocolate cake and a puppy to hug and love, the world would be a happy clappy place and we would all get along ... but I can't summon up much beyond relief that this %^$E^ is not wasting oxygen anymore. BB Gun or whatever, it takes a very special blend of stupid and psycho to make you think brandishing anything when the cops are trying to talk to you is a viable plan. Good on those cops - I am glad they had the training and professionalism to keep themselves and the public safe, I am sorry they had to ... no matter how justified, that can't be an easy thing to walk off.
I don't what the average annual salary is for law enforcement agents & I suspect it varies based on rank, years in & the municipality in which you serve! However, whatever the pay is, it's not enough? I heard (I don't know where so I can't be certain it's true) that once you retire in addition to your pension officers get a lump sum of money (combat pay????)?? Is that true? If so, if G-d forbid your killed or injured in the line of duty does your next of kin get that?? I know your job is very dangerous but this shit is scary! So again I say, thank you for your service!!
Anon 5:05- in New Hampshire, police (and firefighters) get an annual pension equal to 50% of their pre-retirement salary, but don't get social security (unless they held other jobs in addition). The only lump sum is from accumulated vacation time. There is a Federal Line of Duty death benefit of $150K (may have gone up). Nobody does it for the money!
He seemed like a nice enough man, smiling a lot. Stay muddy my friends. I feel kind of bad for him, knowing that he didnt even have a real gun on him. I agree with Ofc Cynical's assessment. Just a stupid man.

Good shoot. Nice video from the body cameras. Shows the cops being professional, guy got what he deserved (for being that dumb)

The weapon he brandished was discovered to be a BB Gun later. Which just makes his actions ALL THE MORE STUPID! WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING????

Where did you see that it was a BB gun? Do you have a link you can share?
