The point is that it's quite easy here to observe the video comfortably from your couch at home and with the power of hindsight ponder what they should've done instead. The officer being attacked here had no such luxury. This is in no way me saying that there's zero issues on how policing is done in the US. There's nuance to these things.

Well talk about nuance! you think pulling out a gun and putting some lead into a 15 yr old with a spade was the only option!
