In the past you had to see a weapon to shoot, today it has become If you THINK he may have a weapon Shoot. Too quick on the trigger I think.

Above is the video from a Salt Lake City police officer’s body camera from the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Dillon Taylor in South Salt Lake in August.
It does not show the officer firing on Taylor but it could still be considered disturbing to some audiences.
On Tuesday, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said the officer was justified in shooting Taylor.
