But. But all the cop saw was a guy with a gun in his hand, and seemingly lacked the critical thinking skills to be able to triage the scene quickly to determine shoot/no shoot. Not everyone with a cut needs to have a full-on trauma resuscitation, there are a million other ways to mitigate the situation. The cop was 100% at fault.
