Doesn't look like a training video to me. I would like to know where and who discussed this and determined it was a training video? It's possible but I'm not biting on that explanation that easilly.
I see the rear officers firearm discharge as the perp is pulling the gun. I also see the body reactions of the perp to the shots fired....As someone who has participated in LEO training scenarios, the body movements of the perp do not look like those to be expected in a training scenario.
WATCH CLOSELY at how his feet move forward immediately and he litterally drops like a dead weight onto the CONCRETE.
"Perp" actors in training scenarios don't drop their full body weight that hard onto concrete, let alone their heads.
As for the officers "calmly approaching"...the perp is down. While the handgun is still in the perps hand, his arm is not moving...the threat has been reduced. Front officer holsters his weapon as he approaches to secure the perp and weapon. This frees both of his hands for the task while the rear officer provides "cover" after having moved up to the downed perp. Training has kicked in, the officers are reacting on instinct, unable to fully comprehend the situation before the video cuts off as only a few seconds have passed. Once the perp and weapon is secure, I would expect the "oh *****" and second guessing to start, along with the post adrenaline shakes.
i think it COULD be a training video (and note saying it is a training video does not mean it is fake. iow, we often use real shooting incidents during training. this makes them TRAINING videos.)
i noted that numerous people instantly said unjustified. iow, they zeroed in on the gun he was putting down. one person noticed (as did i because i am trained to...) his right arm. you can CLEARLY see what appears to be a gun in his hand as he hits the ground. it's not even remotely questionable it would be a good shoot. it appears the one officer saw it was a gun he was drawing, yells "gun" and fires.
the thing that most makes me want to think "fake" is how instantly he goes down upon being shot. i've been in shootouts, seen people actually shot, etc. and unless it's an instant kill headshot, it never looks like that unless it is a headshot kill (or a REALLY luck body shot)
it doesn't look like the guy approaching even fires as best i can tell.
if it is real (and it certainly might be), that is some great obs, and those officers are remarkably cool for such a stressful situation
major props if it is real
