#1 "I believe that this was ~~equivalent to shooting a wild bull rampaging through a crowd of innocent people~~ because of the officers' actions at the location of the traffic stop, they saved the life of a police officer somewhere at sometime."

#2 Has a "drifter" ever done anything good? Ya never hear "Drifter saves puppies". It's always "Drifter in shootout with cops", "Drifter suspected in serial killings".
The "drifter community" should really work on their image...

#3 I would be disappointed in the officers if they had any ammunition left in their weapons at the end of this encounter.

#4 There were two police cars, so I wonder how many cops drew down on him?

Well, they saved their State about $2m.

#5 As far as I'm concerned, anyone who points a weapon at or threatens a cop (no knock raids to wrong addresses are exempt from this statement) deserve what they get.
