  1. That friendly banter raised all of the cops flags. One look at this guys eyes told him everything he needed to know.

  2. It seems like he handed her off to him before escaping (the confrontation he sensed) to his computer indirectly hoping for the best and not immediately expecting the worst@Nobddy. He was so sure of his instinct (that that man was desperate enough to eventually start wrestling with and contemplating deadly force). It scared and adrenalized the cop so much that a last ditch and lucky accidental head shot from the side was all he could manage, and he still missed (but did its job). Or not.

  3. he failed the heart check from a very dangerous man. that fight was going to the gun from the get go, the guy just hesitated long enough to be sure when the powder keg of adrenaline and fear took over all rational and logical thought. fight, flight, or freeze. the cop flew, the man froze before fighting. not sure what the lady kept felt when she felt that gun and heard him say "that's my gun" but the awkward situation was all up in their amygdala's before it was too late. crazy stuff. the cops and the convict are lucky to be alive. best case scenario right there. other than the lady cop letting him have a gun during the interrogation.

  4. was the suspect identified correctly? if so, what were his charges and consequences? what in his head made him think the cops wouldn't overreact when they eventually found his gun? he said it calmly enough, but it could've been interpreted as a lethal threat if the energy was wrong. i'd be curious to know what went through his and the lady cops heads during the discovery of that gun. did he conceal to buy time for good or bad? did she try to take it from him? did they fight for it? once that fight starts, not one of the three is gonna be able to discuss the subtle gray areas of that interaction in the moment. tough case for even the Highest of Courts. hindsight is 20/20, the guy had a case for either naiveté or innocence until the charge of being an armed felon could be calmly processed. weird case.
