1. I agree to an extent...

I agree that some cops are far to quick to act. But say you're a cop (I don't think any of us will deny the stress involved), and you're facing a suspect 50ft from you. You've already ordered him to freeze, get on the ground, etc. He not only refuses, but starts reaching behind his back. By the time he's brought whatever it is around, you may only have a fraction of a second to take action if it indeed is a gun.

What should a cop do in this case?
