Redditors call this the most disciplined cop they've seen. I call it the most idiotic cop ever seen and only God kept him from dying that day.

This fucker is lucky to be going home. Do they not teach the Tueller Drill in his academy? Only God kept him from getting his throat slit that day. Pure idiocy. This is exhibit number 1 of the anti-cop movement and district attorney's on a crusade though.  The public would (at least in my area) wonder why they hesitated.  In other areas it would be why didn't the cop die to let that guy live.
