Yes. But if a cop yells at you, twice, to put the weapon down, and you don't - you know how that is going to turn out. If you start to turn, and raise your weapon they are going to fire. To protect themselves. To protect the public. Because they are scared. Maybe all three. Whatever, it's not going to end well for you, and you know that.

If it happened the way the cops describe (and these are cops, so I'd want video to prove it rather than trust their word) then the outcome was pretty much the only one that could happen in modern America.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
