Mentos can be used with deadly force ?
Probably yes, that's why the cop must have feared for his life and pulled out his gun. I mean, logically thinking right?
Especially, if the suspect had a bottle of diet coke in his pocket and was planning to make a mentos bomb!! Daamn!
As i frequently watch the Active Self Protection clips, i come across many well reasoned people drawing their firearms. But as you often see in the videos, many of the police officers seem to always overreact and act out of their jurisdiction, often putting in jeopardy or harming innocent people. Here is one case in California .
A guy acting normally goes ahead to buy some mentos. An off duty officer enters the shop and irresponsibly draws out his gun.
That look to me like a really dangerous person with a badge and a gun and, seems quite eager to use his firearm. The way i see it, he's the only deadly threat in this situation, and surely think that everybody in that room would justified to disarm and detain that officer.
Gladly, no innocent people were harmed this time, and God bless the 'suspect' for not buying "skittles". He'd definitely be shown the rainbow by that crop .
