I guess this part of the reactions to this video illustrates the confusion that people have about how it feels to be in that situation. I'm confused that people are unable to imagine it how chaotic the situation might be. We have the benefit of knowing how it unfolded, but what the police officers knew is what they were briefed on that morning (most probably threats against the embassy) and the exact situation they are in.
idk about you but I wouldn't point a gun at someone who's on fire in any situation
Seems like a case of reverting to training in a stressful situation.
then this just tells me their training is "point gun at what you don't understand"
It sure does.
