That's why I'd like a little bit more context leading up to the clip to see if things hadn't already escalated. If he'd tried to run someone over just before the clip starts then drawing the gun gets more justifiable.
I've seen enough body cam footage to know some people's interactions are just wild, they flip back and forth from obviously trying to murder someone to throwing their hands up and "I dindu nuffin, why are you being violent mister officer?!" like they expect everyone in the situation to have lost their object permanence.
Looks like bullshit but I'd reserve judgement for a little more context than that 20 second clip.
Nah, she escalated to pulling a gun pretty much immediately. I'd haul ass out of there too in that situation.
As far as I'm concerned this is just more evidence that women should be explicitly barred from certain jobs.

It's a woman cop. The additional footage is just going to confirm what we already know: that this is a woman moment.
I'm fine with her pulling the gun immediately. Fuck thieves who are still in a 4,000 lbs deadly weapon and could be concealing more weapons.
The issue is that she fired that weapon when there was no imminent deadly threat to her or anyone else.
I'm not fucking fine with it.
Women shouldn't be given a gun and state sanctioned authority to use it on citizens.
Women are fucking retarded children.
No, not women, just your mother for raising you like this.
I'm also fine with the female store keeps doing the same when thieves show up.
Nah she's a dumbass. That was just a random negligent discharge.
