There are two main issues here
1) When a guy points a weapon at a cop, he could end up shot and killed
2) When it's two armed cops against one guy and one of those a cop lets the drunk take a weapon out of his hands, he should never been a cop. He was either untrained or untrainable. In either case the police department failed. The police negligence made things less safe. As usual, there was no protection or service. Liberals will insist the answer to just keep throwing more and more tax dollars at the problem. The correct answer is to stop wasting tax money on them until they get their shit together; and even then, it should be with as little as necessary, not as much as they can possibly waste.
