Why did he put his gun up the second time he charged though?


The cop was admirable in that he reallllllly didn’t want to kill the guy. 99% of cops would’ve emptied the rest of the mag, but I guess he wanted to try and keep the guy alive. Police holsters have several retention mechanisms that a perp is very unlikely to figure out in a scuffle, so I guess he holstered to try and take the gun out of the equation and subdue him without it.

Noble, but misguided.

But you can see from the second body cam that he barely even gets the gun holstered while the guy is grabbing him. It could've been very bad.
