So in a way I understand keeping the situation in extremely tight control with very little room to juggle.
There are many ways to handle that situation.
Cops on other forums have criticized this situation because of how they're trained to handle it, like making these suspects lift their shirts up to and spinning around to show that they're not concealing any weapons.
Or how they wouldn't have made them crawl at all. Just made them walk backwards with their hands over their heads with their fingers intertwined.
The fact that the drunk man was already making mistakes following their commands and then getting shot for making a mistake while crawling really bugged a lot of these other cops and military people.
Yes, even the military handles civilians better than these cops did.
And the guy didn't put his hands behind his back. He put it to his side to pull his pants up and they could all still see his hands, even the shooter. This is why the Sgt was beginning to reprimand him until the shooter opened fighter. The shooter was just antsy.
The Sgt should have gotten fired as well for escalating the situation (he was the one barking out the commands, not the shooter). There were 4 other cops there too, btw.
Calling someone who did nothing illegal a perp.
Thats how people who slavishly worship authority think. Authority killed him, and authority is incapable of wrongdoing, so he must have been a criminal.
Oh please.
No one is worshipping any cops, even if they're ignorantly calling the drunk guy a perp.
It's just a blind defense
