And "
shots were fired." Uh-huh. The use of passive voice tells you plenty. And "he was reaching for his gun"? Suuuure he was.
I mean, given this guy's past, that is certainly plausible. Anyone who flings things at people while he's in jail, goes for a cop's gun when under arrest, and threatens the judge when in court would probably be belligerent enough to go for his gun when told to 'halt' by a police office.
But my guess? This guy was taken out. The cops saw with abundant clarity that the justice system - including district attorneys and governors - would not protect them. And so he was spotted, and that was all. she. wrote.
