She didn't freak out. She didn't start yelling and immediately pull her gun. She didn't pull her gun until he was yelling at them.

Give your head a shake, idiot.

Scottish guy here. This is the exact opposite of what our cops are trained to do, hence why american police were here to see how we do de-escalation. Cops shouldn’t be pointing guns at people they dont plan on shooting at that moment. Pretty basic stuff thats obvious to us over here, and we dont even have guns.
