This was posted in the Texas forum but I didn't see it in here where I think it deserves a wider audience. (If it was already posted, I apologize)

Long story short, suspect levels a gun multiple times at an Officer, and the Officer does not fire, but rather tries to talk the suspect into dropping the gun.
I'm hesitant to armchair quarterback any incident, but this one leaves me scratching my head. If a suspect is pointing a gun at me, he's getting shot, not talked to. It is reminiscent of the Dinkheller incident, and although the Officer in this case is expected to survive, it's still tough to watch.
