[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1498194, member: 122"] I'm pretty sure the other officer stated he was in the process of pulling his gun out of his holster when Noor shot. But I also seem to remember hearing he was startled by the shot so who knows. Try to look at how things unfolded from another perspective. A few stories around the country of cops getting shot by being lured to specific locations by someone claiming to need assistance. Two young and inexperienced cops who are probably a bit more nervous than veteran officers would be. They pull up to the location looking for a suspect or victim or an assault in progress. Windows are down to hear better. They hear a loud bang and 911 dispatcher suggests it could be from fireworks in the area. (Others have suggested in was actually the sound of Ms. Diamond hitting the back of the car to get the officers attention.) All of a sudden someone is standing by the drivers side window holding something in their hand" In hindsight we all know it was a cell phone, it was held by an Australian woman wearing pajamas. But at the time the officers know none of that, just someone appears out of nowhere holding something that could be a gun in their hand. Initial reports that they were talking to her have been redacted. How much time does officer Noor really have if he is under the belief it is a gun? Did he make a mistake? Absolutely. Should he lose his job? Probably. Should he go to prison for making the wrong choice in what he thought was a split second decision? That's were I have a problem. But maybe he was a bad cop who was evil and started his shift that night hoping he would have a chance to shoot someone. [/QUOTE]
