The man is cautious and understands how not to box himself into a corner.

As much as I loathe Gun Culture, personal semi-automatic weapons aren't going anywhere. That horse left the barn long ago.

And call for common-sense reforms like licensing and waiting periods.

And DU's Gunners will get quite cross that they would be inconvenienced.

If Bang Bang Barbie was there with her cult. She would have shot the weapon out of the shooters hand with one lightening draw from her holster, spin the Glock around her finger 6 rotations and reholster in 3 seconds.
Then do a political add about radical left hating women.

I wouldn't think that is a factor, especially since this guy apparently killed one of their fellow officers.

They are supposed to arrest and cuff him, if at all possible. Not saying I wouldn't like to have seen him shot, just that their protocol is supposed to be to react like they did, and subject him to arrest and a trial.
